Twenty-three
government officials from developing countries and economies in
transition had the opportunity to strengthen their negotiation skills
and knowledge. The WTO Training Institute along with the Graduate
Institute of International Studies (GIIS-Geneva) organized this
first-of-its-kind course, with the support of the Geneva International
Academic Network (GIAN).
This
initiative falls into the mandate of the WTO Training Institute to
provide the developing countries with enhanced negotiation skills
development and training opportunities. The main objective of this
course is to give the participants basic factual and analytical tools
to handle negotiation processes, in particular within the context of
the ongoing WTO talks held in the context of the “Doha Development
Agenda”. Leading scholars actively participated to this activity. In
order for the participants to put into practice the knowledge acquired
during the first week, the second week was entirely devoted to a
negotiation simulation. This course constitutes a contribution to an
enhanced cooperation between the WTO Training Institute and the
academic community.
The
data collected during the simulation exercise, will serve as a useful
basis for further research activities in the area of negotiation.
This
training course completed the programme of activities of the WTO
Training Institute for 2002. Two Trade Policy Courses with fifty-eight
officials of developing countries and economies in transition as well
as a three-week introduction course for representatives of least
developed countries also came to an end at the beginning of December.
