NECR Webinar: Conflict De-Escalation

Join us in November when NECR program director Dr. Beth Fisher-Yoshida discusses negotiation with global expert Matthias Schranner.

Schranner supports active negotiations with the United Nations, global corporations, and political parties. He will focus on the small but critical “window of opportunity” in the negotiation process when de-escalation is possible: “This brief period of reflection and weighing options creates the potential for cooperation, but it is essential to act quickly. Failure to recognize or seize this opportunity can result in full-scale escalation. The importance of timely action in preventing a full-blown conflict will be a key theme of the discussion.” Following a presentation and conversation, there will be time for audience questions.

The Zoom link will be distributed to all registrants 24 hours in advance of the webinar.
