ESSAY QUESTION: Critically discuss pre-negotiations as the preliminary stage of negotiations with a
specific focus on ‘agreeing on the need to negotiate’, ‘agreeing on agenda’ and ‘agreeing on
procedure’.


Title: Pre-Negotiations: A Critical Examination of the Preliminary Stage of Negotiations



Introduction:

Pre-negotiations serve as a crucial preliminary stage in the negotiation process, laying the
foundation for successful outcomes. This essay critically discusses the significance of pre-
negotiations, with a specific focus on three key aspects: 'agreeing on the need to negotiate,'
'agreeing on the agenda,' and 'agreeing on the procedure.' By examining these elements, we can
gain insights into the importance of pre-negotiations and their impact on the subsequent
negotiation process.



1. Agreeing on the Need to Negotiate:

The initial step in pre-negotiations involves parties recognizing and agreeing on the necessity to
engage in negotiations. This critical stage sets the tone for future discussions and establishes the
commitment of all parties involved. Key considerations within this phase include:



a) Mutual Interests: Parties must identify and acknowledge the common interests that form the
basis for negotiation. This recognition enables the exploration of shared objectives, fostering a
sense of collaboration and mutual benefit.



b) Conflict Assessment: A comprehensive understanding of the underlying conflict and its
dynamics is crucial. Parties should assess the root causes, interests, and concerns of each side,
as well as the potential risks and consequences of continued confrontation.



c) Stakeholder Analysis: Recognizing the diverse stakeholders involved in the conflict is vital.
Identifying their positions, influence, and interests helps in determining the appropriate
engagement strategy and building necessary alliances.
