"D’un geste, le maire montre le chemin de la réception, à droite. De Gaulle, instinctivement, comme attiré par la clameur populaire, se porte sur la gauche, vers le fameux balcon de pierre. Sous le regard abasourdi de Jean Drapeau qui ne sait quoi faire, Durand tente une intervention: «Mon Général, ce n’est pas à ce balcon que vous devez prendre la parole. » Ce à quoi de Gaulle répond sur un ton qui n’admet pas de réplique: «Mais il faut bien que je leur dise quelque chose, à tous ces gens qui m’appellent.» En quelques enjambées, il atteint la porte-fenêtre qui le sépare du balcon. Drapeau le rejoint, presque en courant, et lui explique, à bout de souffle, que, de toute façon, sans micro, il ne sera pas possible à la foule de l’entendre. «Et ça, alors, qu’est-ce que c’est?», réplique de Gaulle qui vient d’apercevoir, à contre-jour, la forme du gros micro à deux branches installé puis débranché, le matin même, par le technicien de Radio-Canada. « C’est un micro, en effet », concède Drapeau, avant d’ajouter : « Mais il n’est pas branché.» Le général semble hésiter un instant. C’est alors que le technicien, qui paraît avoir développé un don d’ubiquité étonnant, surgit de la pénombre, comme par enchantement: «Ce n’est rien, Monsieur le Maire, je peux aussi bien le rebrancher. » Et sans attendre la réponse, il se met au travail tandis que de Gaulle attend patiemment que l’on veuille bien ouvrir la porte-fenêtre. Drapeau a perdu la partie." " Pour tout savoir du contexte, de l’avant et de l’après de cette visite à nulle autre pareille, il y a ce petit livre merveilleux de l’historien Olivier Courteaux « Quatre journées qui ébranlèrent le Québec » dans lequel il nous dit tout de ce qui s’est passé dans les coulisses."

This new and innovative book introduces a new approach to negotiation, where 'Sustainable Negotiation' replaces the old notion of winning. Instead of 'doing a deal' and walking away, negotiation becomes a continuous process of solving problems and creating relationships with no term limits, which better reflects the real world today. Just as we strive to create a sustainable approach to the natural world, we need to do the same with people if we want to keep working together and building a more harmonious business world. The book borrows from the field of physics to make the case that negotiators need to know what is not visible so they can explain what is visible. This alignment gives negotiators the tools to think differently about what they see, helping them to look beyond traditional negotiation techniques and to develop a forward-thinking and sustainable approach to business. Written by a leading international negotiation expert, Sustainable Negotiation introduces a completely new perspective on international negotiation, providing practical, field-tested examples, experiments and guidance to enable readers to implement sustainable negotiation in the real world.

"This book examines six summits spanning the beginning and the end of the Cold War. Using declassified documents from U.S., British, and other archives, Chris Tudda shows how the cold war developed from an ideological struggle between capitalism and communism into a truly global struggle. From Potsdam in 1945, to Malta in 1989, the nuclear superpowers met to determine how to end World War II, manage the arms race, and ultimately, end the Cold War. Meanwhile, the newly independent nations of the "Third World," including the People's Republic of China, became active and respected members of the international community determined to manage their own fates independent of the superpowers. The six summits - Potsdam (1945), Bandung (1955), Glassboro (1967), Beijing (1972), Vienna (1972), and Malta (1989) - are here examined together in a single volume for the first time. An introductory essay provides a historiographical analysis of Cold War summitry, while the conclusion ties the summits together and demonstrates how the history of the Cold War can be understood not only by examining the meetings between the superpowers, but also by analyzing how the developing nations became agents of change and thus affected international relations."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
