How is trust between states built after having been threatened or broken by threats and sanctions? In this episode Henrik Syse and Kristoffer Liden from the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) are joined by Dr. Gregory M Reichberg (PRIO) to discuss the importance of trust and respect in negotiations leading up to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) together with the European Union.

Dr. Reichberg draws on his scholarship and policy-oriented experience to uncover how public and interpersonal efforts of negotiators bolstered mutual respect.
