Hi All, Thanks much for your responses on my query. Answers can be found below. In the end, since they are required to write and opening statement, at least one proposal, and a strategy paper for their state/non-state actor prior to the simulation, I've decided to have them do in-class analysis of actual opening statements, drafts/accepted proposals, and meeting minutes in parallel with relevant sections of the UN MEA Negotiations Handbook. If anyone would like a report on our sim/access to the materials once they've been evalutated, just let me know.
Best, dgwebster I sometime use the simulations available at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard. You have to buy them, but they are often worth it. Here is the link: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/shop/category/role-simulations/ All the best and happy 2015, Áslaug Dear DG, You might look at some of the climate negotiations exercises that we’ve posted on the IUCN IEL site for some ideas: http://www.iucnael.org/online-resources/climate-law-teaching-resources.html wil Dr. Wil Burns Co-Executive Director, Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment A Scholarly Initiative of the School of International Service, American University 2650 Haste Street, Towle Hall #G07 Berkeley, CA 94720 650.281.9126 (Phone) http://www.dcgeoconsortium.org <http://www.dcgeoconsortium.org/> Will also sent a number of files with useful background for climate negotiations. Please contact him if you'd like copies. DG i can recommend a small and really nice documentary (done by a friend of mine), called 'canning paradise'. It'll give a good account of what's at stake: it's about the global tuna canning industry and it's local effects in Papua New Guinea. Otherwise, the work of my colleague here in Australia, Kate Barclay, is to be recommended. WE have in fact written a piece comparing Tuna and Whale negotiations (and just how contradictory they are, re Japan and Australia). It's in Asian Studies Review (it's on my work computer so i can't send it to you) Hope that helps Charlotte Epstein Hi DG, "Getting to Yes" by Ury and Fisher is a helpful primer on aspects of how to negotiate.
