What is the difference between explicit and implicit bargaining? Give an example of each.

What will be an ideal response?


Implicit bargaining takes place when members take actions designed to elicit a reaction from others but without engaging in clear negotiation—essentially, anticipating a reaction from others. Examples will vary, but might include introducing a bill one knows will fail in order to encourage an executive branch official to take action on the issue. Explicit bargaining covers a variety of explicit bargaining techniques. Examples might include logrolling.
