This year they performed and analyzed the following cases: The Tehran Conference (1943), The United Nations Conference on International Organization (1945), The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), Negotiations on the Normalization of the US-China relations(1969-1992), The Iran Hostage Negotiations (1979-1981), The Falkland Conflict (1982), South Korea–United States Bilateral Trade Negotiations (1987–95), The Vienna Negotiations on Final Status for Kosovo (2006), and The Minsk Agreement on Ukraine crisis (2015).

As always, we had not only fun but also a useful analyses of some important international negotiation cases. Well done!

International Negotiation Course – 1st day

Earlier today, we started at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy a course on international negotiation for the 5th year IR students. 88 hours class work (44 hours lectures, and 44 hours seminars/training).Language of instruction – English. Students have to do a lot of work: extensive reading, case studies, presentations, writing essays, maintaining personal journal, participating in simulations, etc. I hope they will enjoy the course and find it useful.
