Negotiation in Transition; New PIN book project started

On Monday 6 June PIN organized a book workshop to kick off their latest project: Negotiation in Transition, with a focus on North Africa and the Middle East. Who should talk to whom and why? How to identify the right negotiation partners (the choice for partners influence the negotiation result and also the sustainability of the deal)? How can the diametrical opposed interested be alligned (the regime wants to stay on, protesters want the regime to leave)?

Negotiations in Transitions meeting in Tunis

The PIN SC is in Tunis late January 2011 for the second book workshop in the Negotiations in Transitions Project. In this extremely timely and relevant project academics and practitioners look at popular uprisings and the complicated negotiation process that follows. Most case studies come from the Arab Spring, supported by older transitions such as South Africa and Serbia. The project started in June 2011 and will continue throughout 2012. The end product will be a book which will be published in 2013.
