Kenneth Boulding argued that power had three "faces" or forms--threat, exchange, and what he called love. (We call the third form of power the power of the integrative system.) Exchange power is the power you get through cooperation--by giving something to another person or group, they will give something back to you. Negotiation is one way of implementing exchange, though exchange often happens in a much less formal way as well. The section on exchange lists a variety of approaches that can be taken to initiate trades, and things that can be done when the initial efforts do not seem to work.
