Présentation

Negotiation is among the best known and most used tools for advancing peace and political transition. Yet, the dominant model of the last few decades is built on methodological premises which, in aggregate, produce slow negotiation.

A “fast track” model is needed to match the more urgent local change needed in the majority of conflict situations. Fast-track negotiation will have a greater focus on outcomes over process; on pragmatism over perfectionism. It will expand the existing toolbox of conflict resolution, thus overcoming the risky reliance on a single, slow model.
