When facing an impasse (deadlock in negotiations), there are several reasons to consider. Here is a list of several causes of an impasse:
Emotions
Principles
Sticking to their position
Lack of authority to make the deal
Conflict of interest
Not sharing information
Conditional offers
Threats
In looking at these, there are some that have solutions, and some that are a deal breaker to a mediation.
