Abstract

In a world that is moving from a rules-based international order to one that is more multi-polar, confrontational, and uncertain, international negotiation processes must adapt to the changing context. Negotiators must navigate and adjust in an environment that can be disrupted by changing power dynamics, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, global pandemics, increasing inequalities, illiberal regimes, and climate change, to name just a few. This 30th anniversary issue of International Negotiation explores international negotiation within this volatile context, including what some call a “gathering global disorder.” This article examines the impacts of the current global disorder in the context of two very different cases: the Israel-Gaza conflict and the ongoing implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption ( uncac ).
