Negotiation agents are broadly defined to include legislators, diplomats, salepersons, lawyers, committe chairs -- in fact anyone who represents others in negotiation.

Leading figures in the field examine the following areas in depth: labour-management relations, international diplomacy, sports agents, legislative process, and agency law

The book concludes with suggestions for future research and specific advice for practitioners.
