The Vital Role of Human Interaction in Negotiation

This chapter emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interactions in peace mediation for building trust among negotiators, especially during periods dominated by digital communication. It touches on the balance between online and in-person engagement, particularly in sectors like the arts, and explores recent geopolitical developments in the UK and Georgia. The discussion further expands to include the dynamics of international relations, with a focus on the BRICS summit and the implications of emerging economies on global narratives.
