The juncture in a dispute when the parties are most inclined (perhaps out of exhaustion) to make a settlement and when, therefore, it is best to start a negotiation or force the pace of an existing one. It is, of course, allied to the concept of ‘premature negotiation’. Sometimes presented as a twentieth-century insight, the doctrine of the ripe moment, or ‘ripeness’, was discussed at some length by Guicciardini in the early sixteenth century; he called it the ‘right season’. |
