In this bilingual course, explore the boundaries of your negotiating skills in a simulated protracted international crisis. Develop your tactical agility and mental resilience to emerge victorious from this ordeal.
Objectives
This module – designed as an exercise in applying the principles of diplomatic negotiation – is aimed at senior officials, representatives of states, and international and regional organisations interested in strengthening their analytical and interpersonal skills. This is in the context of complex multilateral negotiations with a high degree of power asymmetry, and participants will acquire invaluable tools for navigating in a context marked by acute tensions and finding viable and inclusive compromises.
A multidisciplinary approach
The course adopts a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on:
sociological analysis of the players involved in the negotiation;
strategic mapping of interests;
emotional intelligence applied to negotiation;
management of power asymmetry;
mastering good diplomatic practice;
crisis management in a multilateral environment;
creativity applied to conflict resolution.
Structure of the course
Over the course of two intense days, including an evening session, participants will have the opportunity to:
synthesise the complex positions of multiple delegations;
identify sticking points;
build coalitions of interests;
devise inclusive solutions;
mastering the challenges of multilateral decision-making processes.
Expert guidance
Guided by a team of seasoned experts in multilateral and intercultural negotiation, participants will benefit from personalised support, enabling them to:
receive real-time feedback on their performance;
gain new perspectives from real diplomatic experiences;
develop an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of international negotiation;
refine their mediation and conflict resolution techniques in multi-dimensional environments.
Expected outcome
The challenge of this simulation is to draw up a lasting agreement that takes into account the needs of all stakeholders. The Negotiation Marathon offers a unique opportunity to develop essential skills worthy of best-practice negotiators in a stimulating and realistic setting.
