Description

Effective negotiation is the art of separating the people from the problem and focusing on the problem itself - rather than criticizing other parties at the negotiation table. It is focused on achieving mutual gains, and positive outcomes for all parties. This course's aim is to teach students the practice and refinement of their negotiation and conflict resolution skills by debating real-world, often-divisive, local, national, and international issues. The course is designed to prepare students to resolve conflicts with others more effectively, in political, economic, social, and personal settings.
