| PIN Workshop 2024: Redefining Multilateralism in a New Geopolitical Era On 5 and 6 December,PIN was hosted by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy in partnership with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, for a two-day conference entitled "Redefining Multilateralism in a New Geopolitical Era." The event aimed to gain cross-cutting perspectives on current negotiation processes, outcomes, and challenges, share best practices across different negotiation processes, and identify innovative and actionable techniques to advance multilateralism. After a one day conference opened to the public, the second day shifted to a focused expert workshop, where academics built upon the insights from the first day and reflected on how new trends determine the forms and impact of new multilateralism. These discussions informed a peer review exercise of contributions from participating authors. The resulting output will be published in a leading academic and policy-relevant journal.

| PIN Conference 2023: Identity Conflicts in a fragmented World Order The Processes of International Negotiation (PIN) Program has moved from the German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA) to the Geneva Centre for Security Studies (GCSP) in coordination with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy (AGDA) in Abu Dhabi. In May 2023, PIN was hosted by the AGDA for a conference, and meetings with the directors of the AGDA and GCSP and their staff. Drawing on current as well as past transformations, the conference focused on three main subjects: 1. Identity Conflicts in a fragmented World Order; 2. Africa: Reframing Negotiation; 3. China’s New Mediation Role. The conference will result in a PIN book, entitled "Negotiating Identity Complexities in a Fragmenting World Order", in which contributors explore the concept of identity as a force for systemic coherence and fracture across a range of scenarios, and the usefulness of negotiation as a means of managing change and regulating and resolving tensions that arise in processes of change.
