Are you ready to walk in the shoes of diplomats and peace brokers? This module introduces you to major bargaining tactics and negotiation strategies in global politics. In addition you will apply your theoretical knowledge to a real-time negotiation simulation during in-house classes. You will be briefed about a conflict situation in global politics that needs to be managed within the international and transnational community. You will become a delegate of a foreign country and impersonate your government's interests in a particular policy conflict. Throughout the negotiations you will have to show your communicative and intercultural competence – it is not easy to pursue a common goal at the negotiation table while simultaneously preserving your own interests.
