Seeing Through Others’ Eyes

March 19, 2016 John Lande Leave a comment

The New York Times just published a piece that really grabs me. It is a collection of photos and quotes of Iranians about their expectations from the recent agreement prohibiting Iranian nuclear weapon development. For one thing, the photos are wonderfully compelling and artistic images. They display the faces of people from a country considered … Continue reading Seeing Through Others’ Eyes →

One Word

December 14, 2015 John Lande Leave a comment

Here’s an account of the negotiations leading up to the international climate change agreement. Apparently, there was an accidental change of the word “should” to “shall” in one passage, which almost sunk the deal. A lesson to law students and lawyers everywhere. The story of this extremely complex negotiation really is fascinating, especially following the … Continue reading One Word →

Behind the Scenes at the Iranian Nuclear Negotiation

April 4, 2015 John Lande 1 Comment

I am fascinated to learn behind-the-scenes stories of high-profile negotiations, like the negotiation over Iranian nuclear capabilities, which the New York Times just described. Interesting tidbit: the negotiators used an erasable whiteboard so that the Iranians didn’t have a document they could send back to their superiors in Tehran. Another unusual arrangement: “[T]he Iranians did … Continue reading Behind the Scenes at the Iranian Nuclear Negotiation →
