GOVT-021 Legislative Negotiation (0)

Differing from other negotiation settings, legislative negotiations are impacted by politics, policy, and a broad array of stakeholders and principals, as well as internal rules, guidelines, and precedents. Even as gridlock and paralysis have been recent hallmarks, successful legislative negotiations address important problems facing the states and the nation. Students learn critical negotiations techniques and strategies, and apply them through simulations, role playing, case analysis in the legislative context. Students acquire key skills including negotiation tactics, design, and set up. Students sharpen negotiation and advocacy skills in the process and gain a better understanding of the tools and dynamics of legislative negotiations, including internal and external parties, and how to increase the chances of success in an often-polarized environment.
