Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for your suggestions of videos that feature footage of environmental negotiations. I've pasted a list of compiled responses below.
Best, dgwebster Sikina Jinnah [email protected] May 21 (3 days ago) to *me* Hey DG, The UNFCCC records many of its sessions and makes them available on their website. There's a lot of boring stuff in there so you have to sort through to find something interesting. There are also some really good clips on YouTube. I always use the final plenary from Bali b/c it is so dramatic. There are a few to choose from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q25REI4FCRQ There's also a film about the negotiations with live footage, although I haven't had a chance to watch it yet (I hope to soon!): http://twodegreesmovie.com/ -Sikina YouTube - Videos from this email Marc Levy [email protected] May 21 (3 days ago) to me One that Bill Zartman showed when I took his negotiation class we very effective, if dated by now. It followed the negotiations leading up to the creation of what is now the High Commissioner for Refugees (I think it had a different name originally). I can't remember the title but a resourceful librarian could find it. It featured George H.W. Bush in his role as UN Ambassador. I would have seen it in 1983. A documentary that I used in a negotiation class I did at Harvard was recommended to me by Jim Sebenius -- it was not international but it gave a much more visceral feel for the process and was effective in that way. It was called "Final Offer" and it followed the negotiation of a contract between a big auto company and the UAW, sometime in the 1980s. Lots of profanity (though I suspect by today's standards it wouldn't even raise an eyebrow). I'm really dating myself here... Marc * * *Marc A.

I often pick a 5-10 minute segment just so the students see what is happening in the room. Hope all is well! --m > > http://www.dartmouth.edu/~envs/faculty/webster.html < > http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Eenvs/faculty/webster.html> > Aslaug Asgeirsdottir [email protected] May 21 (2 days ago) to me Hi D.G., Sounds like a great topic. In having students do in-class simulations I have found the Clearinghouse of the Program on Negotiation invaluable: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/shop/home/ I have also always found that you get more meaningful negotiations if students have opportunities to do exercises over the course of the semester, i.e. you teach them how to negotiate.
