Negotiation
Negotiations on national and international stages are a feature of the cultural and political landscape. Mark Tully uses music and literature to illuminate the art of negotiating.
Mark Tully explores approaches to negotiation - from the domestic to the international.
In a programme looking at the many ways in which negotiations underpin so much of human behaviour - the child asking for their ball back, the ups and downs of personal relationships, the bartering of governments and entrepreneurs, the delicate art of international diplomacy - Mark asks how best to negotiate a way through life.
He draws on the writing of politicians and poets and of musicians, who have brought harmony where there was discord, with examples from the work of John Maynard Keynes and Denise Levertov, Elvis Costello and Pablo Casals. He also talks to ex-diplomat and Middle East expert Carne Ross, now founding director of an NGO that advises on diplomacy.
The readers are Emma Cuniffe and Jasper Britton.
