Description
In this I will be presenting the main findings of my PhD thesis, which are drawn from interviews with negotiators, UN staff, civil society, journalists and more. Topics include the transition to and away from populist and non-populist governments and leaders, the behaviours of delegations and Heads of State, tangible impacts on the progress of and dynamics in the negotiations themselves, and long-term impacts on the trust and cooperation required in multilateral negotiations. My focus is on several case studies: USA, Brazil, India, Turkey, Philippines, Mexico, Venezuela and Bolivia.
This follows my presentation at the BISA conference last year, at which I presented the findings of the quantitative chapter of my thesis, on the same topic.
