Course Description in Turkish u ders diplomasi ve müzakerenin temel kavramlarını tanımlayarak başlar. Ağırlıkla müzakere üzerinde durularak farklı müzakere ekol ve metotlarının yanı sıra beyin fonksiyonları ve insanın yargı ve karar verme mekanizmasını ne şekilde etkilediğine dair nörobilimin modern bilimsel bulguları işlenecektir. Ders, çok bilinen uluslararası müzakerelerden pratik somut örnekler üzerinden nörobiyolojik faktörlerin sonuçları nasıl etkilediğini inceler. Müzakere becerilerini geliştirme, müzakere stratejisine karar verme ve uygulama, nörobiyolojik faktörleri bu stratejiye dahil etme üzerine odaklanır. Öğrenciler sınıfta yapılacak, biri nörobiyolojik faktörler dahil edilmeden, biri nörobiyolojik faktörler dahil edilerek yapılacak iki simülasyon sayesinde becerilerini ve nörobiyolojinin müzakere stratejileri ve uygulanması üzerindeki katma değerini test etme imkanı bulurlar.
