Abstract
The COAST model, a paradigm for effective decision making in negotiation, is applied to political communication as evident in the 1992 campaign (COAST = Communication, Options, Alternatives, Standards, and Trust). Specifically, the model approaches political communication as a synergistic, shared process, influenced and driven by traditional communication factors, the success of which is reciprocally related to the amount and degree of trust between the principal agent and audience. The COAST model and its previous applications in negotiation, public health, and policy issues are outlined as a context for its application to a political arena undergoing great change in means and method of reaching voters and motivating them to enter the voting booth. Of particular interest is the application of the model to communication strategies in the 1992 campaign.
