Clip Context:

• “Advanced Workshop in Multiparty Negotiation and Conflict Resolution,” a graduate course at the Harvard Kennedy School with 60 students enrolled.
• This course pushes students to apply their learning to realistic negotiation scenarios through immersive, absorbing learning activities. In this class period, students spend almost two hours role-playing different countries in the Pacific Rim as they attempt to negotiate a trade deal. The teaching team then leads a debrief of the exercise.
• This clip comes ten minutes into the 3-hour class session as students begin the simulation.
