Overall Educational Objective To appraise the skill of negotiating, whether assisted by a neutral third person (mediator, in a mediation context) or unassisted negotiating directly with another party and understand the role of process, interests, psychology, and human neurobiology in negotiations.
Course Description The course presents the mediation and negotiation history and their latest developments in the E.U. and the U.S., the different schools of approach to both and their different uses. Students become familiar with the role that parties and mediators assume in a mediation (assisted negotiation) process, with their differences and their complementary nature. Last but not least, through practical exercises, discussion in class and international examples of mediations or negotiations, students develop important new skills, useful in both mediation and negotiation as well as in everyday life, facilitating their communication, brainstorming and finding mutually acceptable solutions with others; such skills are crucial and help them stand out from other professionals.
