The Doha Agreement For Lebanon

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,4, Free University of Berlin (Center for Global Politics), course: International Negotiation, language: English, abstract: A serious political crisis almost led to another civil war in Lebanon. Thanks to Qatar’s mediating efforts, a workable solution to the problems was achieved, resulting in the Doha-Agreement. The talks were examined along various concepts of negotiations theory. Negotiations with Lebanese are a vivid evidence how complicated such a process might be. Last but not least, each bargaining situation is unique and doesn’t necessarily apply to any general theories, but rather to a good mix of all.
