, Answer each of the following questions. You are required to provide only the answer and no
further discussion. For example, if this is hypothetically question 19, then the answer should be

15. Interest-based (or merit-based) negotiations differ from positional negotiations in
fundamental respects. Which one of the two approaches would have the best potential to produce
positive results in the following situation?: “It is not a zero-sum conflict where one party will
gain everything and the other one will lose everything. More options are available for the
negotiators. Both parties want to avoid a deadlock situation and are therefore willing to make
compromises. For them it is not about their personal interests but about shared results”.
Answer Based on the provided situation, the most suitable approach would be Interest-based (or
merit-based) negotiations.
Interest-based Negotiations
Interest-based negotiations focus on the underlying interests of the parties involved rather
than their initial positions. This approach encourages collaboration and the exploration of
creative solutions that can satisfy the interests of all parties.
Is the following a description of “politics as conflict” or “politics as conflict resolution”?:
The description provided can be categorized as "politics as conflict resolution." This is
because it emphasizes the role of politics in regulating conflict and distributing power
through the process of elections. The mention of the social contract as the basis for the state
and politics further supports the idea of politics as a means to resolve conflicts and
establish a system of governance.
ower-sharing as a confidence-building mechanism, can be used in the form of either a temporary
or a permanent constitutional arrangement. Which one of the two will be the best option in the
following situation?: “The power-sharing government includes all the major political formations.
They represent majority and minority political formations consisting of groups in society who
tend not to change their political loyalties. They are therefore majorities and minorities for very
long periods of time. This power-sharing arrangement is meant to accommodate all of them”.
