Cross-Cultural Crisis Negotiations
International Perspectives
Edited by Jing Zhao
-
A comprehensive presentation of cross-cultural crisis negotiation principles and strategies, this book relates established communication models to the practical knowledge and experience of crisis negotiators across international organisations and contexts. Early chapters discuss prominent communication theories and discourse analysis models used to analyse interaction in crisis negotiation case studies. A central theme is the practice of active listening, highlighting the crucial role of active listening in building rapport. Rapport is a communicational concept deemed essential to successful negotiations but is seldom defined. The book expands upon this concept in depth, providing relevant communication theories that can be applied to understanding the interactional processes in successful crisis negotiations. By presenting perspectives on crisis negotiation by scholars and practitioners engaged in vastly differing contexts, it is a robust guide to developing constructive crisis negotiation strategies in cross-cultural and cross-linguistic situations. An essential read for students and practitioners in crisis negotiation who find themselves working in increasingly cross-linguistic and cross-cultural scenarios.
