An Alternative Approach to International Negotiation

I recently posted one item focusing on President Trump’s approach to negotiation generally, using Mexico as an example of a negotiation partner, and another one analyzing his approach to dealing with North Korea.

MFOI Elayne Greenberg pointed me to an article on the BBC website discussing the approach of another world leader, Pope Francis.  He “called for international mediation to ease rising tensions between the US and North Korea over Pyongyang’s nuclear activity. … He warned the crisis risked sparking a devastating war in which ‘a good part of humanity’ would be destroyed. … ‘There are so many facilitators in the world, there are mediators who offer themselves, such as Norway for example.’”
