Dear colleagues, As the Earth Negotiations Bulletin summary of the Paris Climate Change Conference notes, during the opening session, Laurent Fabius, French Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, told the assembled delegates that he viewed the "role of the French presidency as: listening to all views; ensuring transparency and inclusiveness; seeking an ambitious agreement; ensuring compromise among parties; and leaving only 'final points' for consideration by ministers during the second week."
These remarks, offered following his election to serve as the President of the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties and eleventh session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP 21/CMP 11), reveal the careful attention that the French Presidency gave to the role of chairing what resulted in a successfully negotiated outcome, the Paris Agreement. They also presage the important role that procedural justice played during the negotiations. At the conclusion of the meeting, for example, a number of speakers stated that, for the first time, their groups had been "truly heard" at the COP. If you are doing research on the role that procedural justice played in the Paris negotiations, I would like to call your attention to an article that Daniel Druckman and I have just published. Titled "Justice and Negotiation," and published in the Annual Review of Psychology (Vol. 67, pp. 387-413, 2016), this review article examines the literature regarding the role played by principles of justice in negotiation. We focus on how justice preferences guide the process and outcome of negotiated exchanges. Focusing primarily on the two types of principles that have received the most attention, distributive justice (outcomes of negotiation) and procedural justice (process of negotiation), we review the most relevant experimental and field or archival research on the roles played by these justice principles in negotiation. We also develop hypotheses based on the existing literature to point the way forward for further research on this topic. I would be happy to share a link to the article, if you contact me offline.
