Join Harvard’s Davis Center and the Negotiation Task Force for a discussion with experts from around the globe on the drivers of conflict in the Middle East and Central Asia and how these conflicts can be mediated.
The Davis Center’s Negotiation Task Force (NTF) promotes innovative solutions to Eurasian security challenges by creating spaces for cross-cultural negotiation research and strategic analysis. They aim to train practitioners in negotiation skills and develop long-term conflict management capacity. As the Eurasian sphere enters a period of transition and realignment, the NTF seeks to uncover the causes of conflict at this critical moment and to start conversations about complex problems in conflict mediation in the region.
