The Conference asked the following:

• Are diplomats up to the task of negotiating amidst conflict and indeed more generally in today’s ‘hot spots’?
• What are the demands for negotiations and of the negotiator?
• Are diplomats able to gain sufficient cultural fluency in dealing with complex and shifting groups of host country stakeholders?
• How do national negotiating styles affect the ways in which diplomats approach cross cultural mediation?
