President Carter's Leadership at Camp David: Mediation as an Exercise in Strategic Thinking

Abstract

This paper will address the importance of mediation and negotiation skills at the strategic level in today s national security context by addressing the Carter Administration1978 Camp David accord agreement between Egypt and Israel. The thought is to examine the strategic thinking framework of systems, creative, ethical thinking and thinking in time, as the foundation that will take in hand to support the importance of team building and communication. The1978 Camp David accord is one of Carter's most important accomplishments as President. The accords were a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt negotiated and mediated by Carter, his administration and a team of other state actors. The Carter Administration must have understood the nation s strategic vision and how strategy is formulated to get both parties to meet in a neutral location for a meeting to discuss differences and come to an amenable solution and agreement.
