 * Workshop Description**

Recent environmental negotiations, including the December meeting on climate change in Durban, South Africa, have seen open conflict over this question. In this workshop, we will see if we can produce a better outcome. Participants will be given information about the negotiating positions of specific groups of countries (G-77, ALBA, BASIC, AOSIS, etc) in recent climate negotiations. Each group of participants will be assigned to represent the positions and interests of one of the country groups. We will have a simulation of an authentic treaty negotiation session. We will conclude with a discussion of our own views on the question. Kathryn Hochstetler is a professor in the University of Waterloo's political science department and the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
