In 2008, the pedagogy of negotiation was predominantly an American export product. Moreover, it was, for all intents and purposes, a "first generation" product, in need of review and overhaul. For universities trying to influence the future of conflict resolution, a continuing challenge is to critically examine what is taught in negotiation and how we teach it, with special emphasis on how best to "translate" teaching methodology to succeed with diverse, global audiences.
To meet this challenge, The Dispute Resolution Institute, in cooperation with the JAMS Foundation,CONVENOR Conflict Management, and ADR Center Foundation (Italy), embarked on an ambitious multi-year, cross-disciplinary, global initiative. The project brought together international conflict resolution scholars and teacher/trainers to critique contemporary negotiation pedagogy and contribute to development of "second generation" negotiation training, with particular emphasis on short "executive" courses now popular around the world.
