Case Studies in International Negotiations
Course ID: M04013Y8
Credits: 2
Course Prerequisites: None
Course Description and Goals:
To avoid wars, states often resolve disputes through negotiation and then seek to reach an agreement so that all parties concerned can ensure safety and share peace and prosperity. However, international issues are extremely complex, countries have different negotiation styles, and there are wide gaps in core interests and considerations under various issues. It often leads to stagnant negotiation progress, resulting in a no-win situation and even endangering international peace. This course will guide students to understand the true face of international negotiations through the study and analysis of negotiation cases. In 2021, the main topic is WTO negotiations on fisheries subsidies.
