Faculty
Schedule
Summer Semester; Tue.; Time slot #3
Description
This advanced course is primarily for graduate students who have strong interests in negotiation analysis, policy making processes, and deliberative democracy. We will explore a wide variety of dimensions in the practice of negotiation and consensus building. This course is designed to develop a solid theoretical understanding of negotiation and participatory policy making processes.
Students are expected to have taken at least one basic course on negotiation analysis (such as 5130020 Negotiation and Consensus Building). In the classroom, each student will be asked to provide a review of one of the assigned readings and suggest a few interesting questions and/or topics for further discussions.
