The complexity of multilateral negotiation is … rendered more manageable through the formation of coalitions, where countries (or organizations) form an alliance, usually temporary, to promote or defend their common interests. If coalitions are forming in a multilateral negotiation, it is best to join an alliance, rather than to be left on the outside, standing alone. 2, record 1, English, - multilateral%20negotiation
