Nobel Peace Prize nominee to offer diplomacy and negotiation tips in half-day course for CEDR

In another first for CEDR, Jamil Mahuad, former President of Ecuador and Nobel Peace Prize nominee will be running a half-day afternoon course at CEDR's London head office on 7 November 2007. Through his practice, experience and understanding of international relations, he will offer insight and learning points to participants to take into their own working lives from the world of international diplomacy. 

Mr Mahuad served as President of Ecuador (1998-2000) capping a career of nearly 20 years in Ecuadorian politics, which included two terms as Mayor of Quito and member of the National Congress. He is a recipient of the World Wild Fund Gift to the Earth Award (1999) for his policies on environmental protection and is a Nobel Peace Price Nominee (1999) for the brokering and signing of a definitive Peace Treaty with Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, ending a decades-long land dispute between the two countries.

Mr. Mahuad holds a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, as well as a JD from the Catholic University of Ecuador. Reflecting on his experiences, he currently researches and teaches at Harvard on Negotiation, Leadership, and the challenges facing struggling democracies in the age of globalization.
