This episode of The IR thinker explores the practice and pedagogy of diplomatic negotiation with Ida Manton, examining how teaching methods have evolved, how technology intersects with human skills, and how sensitive topics such as climate change and human rights are incorporated into training. The conversation also considers the use of case studies, the role of theory, emerging specialisations such as cyber and vaccine diplomacy, and the core skills that effective negotiators need today.
