Posted: 1 Mar 2012

Abstract
A network of influential Israelis and Palestinians, jointly trained in negotiation at Harvard since 2002, faces organizational, strategic, and funding challenges in 2010. Unlike "people to people" or "Track II" initiatives, the Israeli-Palestinian Negotiating Partners (IPNP) consists of relatively senior people on both sides of the conflict who have undergone advanced negotiation training together and now constitute a unique network in the region. IPNP's academic sponsor, the Harvard Negotiation Project, is helping to assess this unique negotiation initiative and assisting the organization in its efforts to conduct a basic reassessment in the face of changes in regional politics, the conflict, and the funding environment.
Learning Objective: To analyze the impact and potential of a unique negotiation initiative and to think through the most constructive responses to changes in the conflict, the organization, and the funding environment.
