Professor or Teacher of Trade-Related Courses
If you are a professor or teacher interested in developing new courses on the global trading system or trade policy development and negotiations, this site will assist you by providing descriptions, outlines and detailed syllabi of courses in the field. The site will also provide with you with a series of manuals on various topics such as writing effective commercial diplomacy documents, using numbers for effective advocacy in commercial diplomacy, and the use of analytical methods in commercial diplomacy advocacy. A series of PowerPoint presentations, some with and some without teachers notes provide useful outlines for lectures on topics such as the development of effective oral presentations in commercial diplomacy, negotiations, management of the political process in commercial diplomacy, the new trade agenda, and the implications of globalization and the information revolution on trade. In order
to enrich courses in the field through a hands on approach you may
want to use some of the case studies and negotiating simulations found
on the site, or you can go to the index of case studies,
which will provide information on case studies published elsewhere.
A Manual on Writing Case Studies will help you to develop your
own case studies if you have the resources and inclination to enrich
the field through additional cases geared to different issues or commodities,
or cases that highlight issues and procedures applicable to different
countries. Another resource contained in the site are the various
negotiating simulations, which allow
students to develop their negotiating, dispute settlement and public
relations skills by participating in simulated negotiations, dispute
settlement panels, press conferences and hearings on real world trade
disputes.
Another
tool for a hands-on approach to education and training in commercial
diplomacy is the commercial diplomacy project, in which students have
to address an outstanding trade issue from the point of view of an
affected organization of their choice. They must analyze the issue
from all relevant angles, develop an advocacy and negotiating strategy
for resolving the issue, prepare all the documents necessary for advancing
the issue through the advocacy, alliance building and negotiating
chain, and finally make a presentation of the issue and their proposed
strategy to a decision making body. The site contains both a set of
instructions to students for preparing such a project, and a rich
and varied sample of masters projects undertaken by graduate students
enrolled in the commercial diplomacy program of the Monterey Institute
of International Studies. One of the manuals currently under preparation
will provide a more detailed guide to students for analyzing trade
issues and developing a comprehensive strategy for advancing the interests
of an organization that has a stake in how the issue is finally resolved.
By browsing through the site, you will find other useful resources
such as glossaries and links to web sites with useful
information related to trade and commercial diplomacy.
