Dispute Negotiations Among the Guajiro of Colombia and Venezuela: Dynamics of Compensation and Status

The in-depth micro-approach vernacular case study and the analysis of issues, outside influence, norms and power in negotiations contributes to process approaches in the ethnology of law. The revelation of a go-between-as-mediator law process from lowland South America contributes to a field dominated by African and Middle-Eastern studies. And the innovative incorporation of status into the negotiation model strikingly amplifies investigative potential, not only for the Guajiro, but for negotiations in any culture dealing with any issues.
