The Spider’s Thread Background I recalled one story “The Spider’s Thread” by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider's_Thread This story tells us about to save only his/herself is bad things. My idea This story can apply everything in our minds. Developed countries have/had tried to save only own countries. Developed countries provided fake help to developing countries for maintaining advanced position. In 21st century, the way is no use. Now, Global South appears.
On September 23rd, 2022, I reflected on the importance of the estoppel principle in negotiation skills. The reason why Russia may struggle with negotiation skills is that they don't adhere to the estoppel principle. To develop strong negotiation skills, it is essential to follow the estoppel principle. Historically, Russia has acted for short-term gains, often neglecting the long-term consequences. However, this approach can result in a higher cost in the future. Therefore, it is crucial for any negotiator to consider the potential long-term consequences of their actions, and to adhere to the estoppel principle.
