Course description

Today, in our rapidly changing world, effective global negotiators not only must be familiar with a generic problem-solving or negotiation process that works in their own culture. They must also become familiar with cultural factors that affect the problem-solving approach of people from other cultures. They must learn how to adapt to international system, to cultural dynamics and patterns, respond in flexible and appropriate ways, and use a range of approaches for building positive working relationships and reaching agreements.

Negotiations of international significance are today conducted not only between individual states, but also within and beyond them. At the same time negotiation practice itself is undergoing much change with changing patterns of conflict and intervention, business, bargaining, and many new urgent issues on the global agenda, new actors and new emerging norms and threats.
