American Secretaries of State Project: Negotiation, Diplomacy, and Statecraft

With Nicholas Burns and Robert Mnookin, I co-lead a project to do background research on all living former American Secretaries of State, interview them extensively on video at Harvard (if possible) about their most challenging negotiations, and analyze this information in order to develop powerful generalizations about negotiation, diplomacy, and statecraft.  Thus far, we have gone through this process with James A. Baker, III, George Shultz, and Henry Kissinger.  All remaining Secretaries have agreed to participate.
