b'Diplomacy is a game, and geopolitics is a psychological sport. Though we may root for the \\u2018democratic good guys\\u2019, it is often the disordering \\u2018autocratic bad guys\\u2019 that achieve their aims through effective use of psychological tactics like bluffing and intimidation.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn this episode, we meet Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair\\u2019s former Chief of Staff, who helped negotiate landmark treaties like the Good Friday Agreement. He tells us how our leaders could use various skills to get to mutually beneficial agreements. We\\u2019ll also meet Kenneth Dekleva, a former US diplomat and a Professor of Psychiatry, who will present certain ways we can psychologically outfox disorderers like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/nato-and-adversaries\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nJonathan Powell\\u2019s Majestic work on the Negotiations in Northern Ireland is here\\nGet Kenneth Dekleva\\u2019s latest books.
