Résumé

Le secteur humanitaire a continuellement poursuivi des efforts pour développer les capacités de négociation parmi le personnel humanitaire. Néanmoins, les questions autour du profil du négociateur humanitaire et comment il pourrait influencer les résultats des négociations ont été, au mieux, à l’arrière-plan des débats en cours dans la  profession, ou, au pire, complètement ignorées. Ce document de travail cherche à combler cette lacune. En  se fondant sur des entretiens semi-directifs et des  réponses de questionnaire, il évalue le rôle des  caractéristiques personnelles dans les processus de  négociation humanitaire. Comme les résultats des entretiens et du questionnaire le  suggèrent, le profil d’un négociateur, y compris ses  caractéristiques personnelles et ses expériences  professionnelles passées, peuvent façonner la manière  dont ses interlocuteurs le perçoivent ; entretenir les préjugés et les stéréotypes des humanitaires eux-mêmes envers leurs interlocuteurs ; et engendrer des dynamiques organisationnelles internes problématiques, avec les organisations humanitaires cherchant à promouvoir la diversité et à encourager l’inclusion et l’appartenance au sein de leur personnel.
