Negotiating a New Social Contract for Work: An Online,Distributed Approach

A massive open online course (MOOC) entitled “Shaping the Future of Work” (offered through MITx, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's online learning division) has been the context for a multiparty simulation designed to produce classroom negotiation results that will have social impacts. After running the course in the MOOC context three times and in face‐to‐face settings eight times, we noticed that key themes emerged. Participants have brought their own workforce perspectives to their simulation roles as employers, worker representatives, elected officials, and educators. They have called for reciprocal agreements centered on fair treatment and representation in the workplace, improved organizational performance, investments in skills and capabilities, aligned rewards and benefits for workers, and work–life balance in communities. We continue to use the simulation in the classroom and are exploring ways to expand its use. In the meantime, in this article, we discuss how the insights gleaned from this simulation could be used to crystallize and advance a new social contract at a time when the public policies, institutions, and organizational practices governing employment relations have not kept up with the dramatic changes taking place in the workforce, nature of work, and overall economy.

In Search of Master Negotiators: A Negotiation Competency Model

Over the last four decades, the field of negotiation has become a fully recognized academic discipline around the world and negotiation courses and competitions have become increasingly popular. Although it is believed that negotiators may be trained and that negotiation is a skill that can be taught and evaluated, the question of how to assess negotiation performance systematically and comprehensively remains largely unanswered. This article proposes a negotiation competency model for evaluating negotiation performance. The model includes a set of selected negotiation competencies together with proficiency levels and their behavioral indicators. Our goal is to help scholars design more effective negotiation courses and fairer negotiation competitions, improve negotiation pedagogy, and train negotiators who are well prepared to handle conflicts in our increasingly complex society.     

危机谈判的训练设计与方法选择

危机谈判训练是一种以谈判沟通技巧为基础技能,针对不同案件类型展开的警务技能训练,也是一种基于危机现场警务运作模式展开的工作机制训练,因此,危机谈判训练方法也分为技能训练方法和工作机制的训练方法,其中后者可以类推到以工作机制为训练目标的警务指挥、应急指挥训练中。     

Negotiating the Marcellus: The Role of Information in Building Trust in Extractive Deals

New technology has expanded the opportunities for energy companies within the United States, often bringing them into populated communities and requiring them to negotiate deals with landowners. This case study focuses on how one group of landowners in northeastern Pennsylvania creatively reimagined the process of negotiating in a natural gas deal. They used collective bargaining for leverage, and the Internet and social media to level the informational playing field. These techniques allowed them to develop trust within the group and ultimately with one company, as they sought to protect their environment and enhance their financial gain.     

On the Regulation of the Discretion of Environmental Administrative Punishment: Based on the Framework of the Modernized Environment Governance System

With the increasing environmental risks, the limitations of legislative regulation, negative judicial regulation and weak administrative regulation make it difficult to regulate the exercise of the discretion of environmental administrative punishment, which also increases the difficulty of the implementation of environmental administrative penalty decisions. The government, enterprises and the public three-dimensional main body structure constructed by the modern environmental governance system provides a new framework for the discretionary regulation of environmental administrative punishment. Based on the traditional theories of administrative Law, three regulation mechanisms can be formed,which include administrative self-control, negotiation regulation, and the social regulation. These three regulatory mechanisms working together in the whole process of environmental administration would regulate and restrict the exerting of discretion of environmental administrative punishment.     

论人质谈判场

人质谈判场包括关系场、环境场和话语场。谈判场中影响和制约人质谈判的因素很多。警方针对每一场人质危机的谈判,都应该做到知彼知己,有的放矢,应通过场上和场下等渠道,多方采集相关信息,并及时、科学分析,正确研判,充分利用其有利面而规避其不利面。只有这样,警方才能有效把握谈判的主动权,顺利化解人质危机。     

跨文化谈判中的文化差异——美国与日本人的谈判行为比较

随着国际间贸易的增长和经济全球化的影响,跨文化谈判中的文化差异问题已引起广泛关注。属于不同文化的不同思维形式、不同沟通方式、不同行为方式的谈判行为具有非常大的挑战性。当代日本和美国的交流行为是两种极为不同甚至经常相互抵触的文化传统的产物。这个问题将从谈判过程、思维方式、决策过程等几个方面显露无疑。     

1945年美英贸易谈判和GATT的起源

1945年美英围绕战后国际贸易体制问题展开了一场外交攻防战,出于世界领导权、商业利益及对苏战略的需要,美国放弃了多边自由贸易纲领,转而采取多边谈判程序的安排,形成了美国构筑战后国际贸易体制的政策目标和方法,为多边贸易谈判体制———GATT的产生铺平了道路。     

人质解救的新理念——谈判专家中心论

人质解救属于高难度的战术,光靠武力难以成功,与犯罪人谈判是在所难免的。而我国警方现在极其缺乏专业谈判人员,各地纷纷采取措施培养谈判专家,这可能只是"头痛医头,脚痛医脚"的短视行为。必须树立以谈判专家为中心的人质解救理念,从制定科学的培训计划、应急预案、现场指挥体系和现场处置策略等方面着手,以此才能架构起长效的危机处理机制。
