size
Hello!
I have problems with the word size in the context.
This approach, unfortunately, does not take into consideration the fact that the power of negotiation is a notion that refers to the capability of an individual to overpower, which is always a relative notion that can be based on the whole range of elements which are not always derived from the size and economic power of the parties in question.
I wonder whether it works in English in this context and whether it can be replaced by something more appropriate.
If you have any other suggestions or corrections, I would be more than happy to read them.
Thank you very much in advance

Is it possible you could say:
...the fact that the power in negotiation refers to the capability of an individual...
instead of: ...the fact that the power of negotiation is a notion that refers to the capability of an individual...
Also, for 'size', you might consider 'stature'.

'stature'-- from Merriam-Webster: 'quality or http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=status gained by growth, development, or achievement.'
The word has no reference to 'inanimate'.
