Dean Pruitt’s contributions to the field of conflict and negotiation are celebrated in this book. Heralding the insights produced over the course of a career, his colleagues rejoice in showing how they influenced their work and, more broadly, the development and sustenance of the field. Indeed, the history of the field has been shaped to a large extent by Dean’s scholarship. From early laboratory studies on bargaining to more recent case studies on peace processes, he has demonstrated a keen appreciation for the value of theory-inspired analysis. In these pages, we get glimpses of the person, his most influential ideas, and the paths ahead for scholars that are building on these contributions. Appreciation goes to Dean for nourishing this exciting, dynamic field of study and practice. The appreciation is on display in the chapters written by several of the colleagues and students who have benefited from his work. He has earned a place in the pantheon of legends in our field.
