This course provides the basics on negotiation theory and skill-building to better equip professionals in the planning, public administration, business and other fields to achieve their goals. The course begins with two-party, prviate negotiation situations and moves on to multiparty public sector decision making. Participation in the class is key, as we conduct several simulation exercises throughout the term. This is a highly interactive class.

China-US Sustainable Land Use and Urban Planning Program Since 2000, PSU has partnered with the International Sustainable Development Foundation to offer training programs through China's Ministry of Land and Resources and, since 2003, the Ministry of Construction. In 2007, PSU received a generous grant from the Hewlett Foundation to continue this work. Our goals are to work with our Chinese counterparts to better identify the elements of sustainable development, understand the strengths of the Portland, OR region in manifesting such elements, and in further knowledge that can be mutually beneficial toward our common future.

(NOTE: USP 510 Collaborative Processes and Mediation is o longer scheduled for Fall 2007. Look for it in the Spring 2008 schedule.)
