Projects in Asia

China
In collaboration with the Foreign Affairs College, Beijing, and the University of Montana, CMG conducted a pilot workshop for both Chinese and American diplomats in China in the fall of 1999. This unique program incorporated both interest-based negotiations methodology and traditional Chinese statecraft into a common framework for resolving differences. The program will then be expanded to provide training to other Chinese and American professionals.

Indonesia
CMG provided training for officials from the Ministry of Trade, together with officials from other ministries participating in the formulation and implementation of trade policy, and in conducting and managing bilateral, regional and global trade negotiations. A diagnostic study was conducted to analyze current inter-procedures for ministerial cooperation in formulating and executing trade policy and negotiations, and to develop recommendations for strengthening internal coordination.

Malaysia
Joint training was conducted by CMG for officials from the Ministries of Trade and Foreign Affairs, and from state-owned enterprises, on managing foreign economic affairs.

National University of Singapore
In the the spring of 1999 CMG conducted advanced negotiation skills training programs for senior Asian officials and graduate students in partnership with the National University of Singapore and Ewha (Womans University in South Korea).

Singapore Mediation Center
In November 1997, CMG provided training in mediation for judges and mediators as part of a systemic effort to institutionalize the use of mediation in Singapore.

South Korea
CMG trained and advised senior officials and economic analysts in every major ministry of the South Korean Government on managing foreign relations, trade relations, and relations with North Korea. The work focused on systematic preparation for negotiations, negotiating with major powers, communicating cross-culturally and using third parties effectively.

Sri Lanka
At the request of the Asia Foundation, CMG is conducting a preliminary evaluation of the situation in Sri-Lanka and the feasibility of providing strategic assistance to the parties involved in this conflict.

World Health Organization (WHO) - South East Asia
CMG is working with WHO to strengthen the negotiation capacity of the Ministries of Health in Asia and help them to mobilize more resources for health sector projects in their countries. After conducting seven inter-country workshops, CMG is now targeting specific countries that require more assistance. A manual entitled, "Negotiating Health Development," was produced and will be published and disseminated widely by the WHO.
