Garčević Leads Diplomatic Negotiation Workshop
Between October 29 and November 12, 2021, Ambassador Vesko Garčević, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, led a four-session diplomatic negotiation workshop at the Emmanuel College Institute of Eastern Mediterranean Studies (IEMS).
As part of the workshop, 22 students took part in a diplomatic simulation led by Garčević, who has served as the Ambassador in Residence for the Emmanuel College Institute of Eastern Mediterranean Studies since 2018. Students were instructed on negotiation tactics, different perspectives to take into account, as well as general diplomatic demeanor.

IEMS at Emmanuel College sponsors academic programs, research, and educational opportunities for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in Boston and throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.
