Publication of the Handbook of Group Decision and Negotiation marks a milestone in the evolution of the group decision and negotiation (GDN) eld. On this occasion, editors Colin Eden and Marc Kilgour asked me to write a brief history of the eld to provide background and context for the volume. They said that I am in a good position to do so: Actively involved in creating the GDN Section and serving as its chair; founding and leading the GDN journal, Group Decision and Negotiation as editor-in-chief, and the book series, “Advances in Group Decision and Negotiation” as editor; and serving as general chair of the GDN annual meetings. I accepted their invitation to write a brief history. In 1989 what is now the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) established its Section on Group Decision and Negotiation. The journal Group Decision and Negotiation was founded in 1992, published by Springer in cooperation with INFORMS and the GDN Section. In 2003, as an ext- sion of the journal, the Springer book series, “Advances in Group Decision and Negotiation” was inaugurated.

At the same time, you do good and support sustainable projects. Because influencing has the worst possible reputation. Influence on other people is something that each of us uses every day, even if some people are clearly more skillful than others. But regardless of whether it's clumsy attempts at persuasion or rhetorical maneuvers of seduction, it's important to recognize, understand, and expose these interpersonal power games as well as other people's communicative tricks and tactics. After all, whoever has the power determines the direction of march and can enforce his goals, as Machiavelli already knew. Seeing through manipulative strategies therefore provides a considerable amount of personal freedom. And this book shows what is important.
