Overall Educational Objective | To distinguish between different Negotiation schools and Negotiation techniques and to assess when and how to use them efficiently within an international negotiation context. | ||||
Course Description | The course begins by offering definitions of the basic notions of Diplomacy and Negotiations. Emphasis is placed in Negotiations, as the various schools and method of negotiating are presented. Prior-to-negotiation and negotiation dynamics, as well as potential reasons, which push parties to avoid talking or which push them to talk are explored. The course examines various concrete examples of domestic and international negotiations, including some, which took place within the context of an international organization such as the United Nations or the World Trade Organization, as well as regional organizations, multilateral or bilateral negotiations between State actors, whether they are conducted directly or via the assistance of third countries. The course particularly explores the important role that cultural (e.g. linguistic, religious), political, economic or other factors have played in the success or failure of specific negotiations, and presents related examples. Various case studies of successful and unsuccessful international negotiations are analyzed and discussed in class. | ||||
