Negotiations in political science traditionally function as a mechanism for resolving disputes and settling disagreements between parties, according to Shehab Wire. Under the current period of American-Israeli dominance, however, the practice has transformed into a fundamentally different instrument: a tool for evasion, for buying time, and for subduing opposing negotiating partners rather than reaching genuine accord.
The analysis contrasts this tactical approach with conventional frameworks for conflict resolution. Where standard diplomatic practice aims at substantive agreement, the doctrine described here uses the negotiating process itself as a strategic weapon—prolonging talks to exhaust adversaries, forestall decisions, and maintain leverage over outcomes without necessarily achieving settlement.
