Negotiation Bulletin
A joint initiative of UNITAR and the ADN Group
Negotiation Bulletin No. 1
THE URGENT NECESSITY OF NEGOTIATION
Greetings to all,
We are proud to announce the launch of the Negotiation bulletin, a global monthly bulletin dedicated to negotiation in every sense of the term. The objective of this joint initiative, by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and ADN Group, is to raise awareness, in as many people as possible, of the stakes of tomorrow and to give insight into the problems we currently face. Each month we will cover a different subject from a negotiation point of view, benefitting from the meeting of minds of some of the world’s leading experts. We will cover subjects as various as crisis negotiation, climate change, stress management, failure, intercultural, gender, major diplomatic achievements, terrorism, social conflicts, the daily life of frontline negotiators, resiliency…
The subject of this first bulletin is the role negotiation currently plays in the world and why it is so urgently necessary. This will naturally open the way for the other bulletins to come.
We hope you enjoy your reading.
