The Five Forces of Americanisation

(“Bargaining with Consequences: Leverage and Coercion in Negotiation”; Paul F. Kirgis, Professor of Law, St.
John's University School of Law, and Faculty Chair, Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution. Harvard
Negotiation Law Review; Spring, 2014)

Howaldtswerke-Deutsche-Werft (“HDW”) from Babcock Borsig.
