NEGOTIATION STRATEGY FOR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

with Kate Walker

This course aims to equip participants with the capacity to analyse complex negotiation scenarios and use the insights acquired to engage effectively during negotiations. We first assess negotiation scenarios through the lens of key frameworks, beginning with two-party negotiations. We then progress to consider multi-issue negotiations, ultimately strategizing to execute a role in a complex simulation.
