The authors are leading a multinational effort to understand the effects of “hybrid” warfare on international commercial negotiation. The start‐up process is itself essentially a negotiation, among about forty individual practitioners and scholars with very diverse backgrounds, over whether and how they will work together. In a pandemic, a key risk is that the necessary cooperation and trust will be harder to build, particularly among professionals who are dealing with security‐sensitive issues and who have never met each other. This article discusses the current necessity of replacing the in‐person model for eliciting such cooperation which the authors had developed previously for large collaborative projects, and describes a “remote convening” replacement process.

混合战争，国际谈判和“远程召集”实验

作者正在领导一个跨国研究，以了解“混合”战争对国际商业谈判的影响。在本质上，启动过程本质上是一场谈判，由40名背景各异的实践者和学者就他们是否以及如何一起工作进行谈判。在大流行中，一个主要风险是，将难以建立必要的合作与信任，尤其是在那些处理安全敏感问题并且从未见过面的专业人员之间。本文讨论了作者取代以前为大型协作项目开发的亲自合作模型的必要性，并讨论了“远程召集”的替换过程。
