Explanation:

Please refer to subunit 3.1.1. In Beyond Intractability, Brad Spangler's article "Positional Bargaining" describes positional bargaining as a "negotiation strategy that involves holding on to a fixed idea, or position, of what you want and arguing for it and it alone, regardless of any underlying interests." Each side starts with extreme positions and "haggles" until a compromise is reached.
