But far from the dramatic scenes played out in movies and series, what is actually happening behind the scenes? How do hostage negotiators build rapport and trust and come to agreements with kidnappers? And how are these same tactics useful in lower stakes negotiations? Recent research supports th...2024-01-2359 minPeace Talks RadioNegotiating Towards Peace: To Release Hostages or Manage Our Daily LivesOn this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we’ll take a look at hostage negotiations.
