Please use the uploaded case study + transcript to answer the below MALTA VS BRITAIN NEGOTIATION CASE STUDY. Please answer the questions as Itemize below:

The Malta case (Up for Auction: Malta Bargains with Great Britain) will be the focus of our discussion on distributive approaches to negotiation, though I hope you will bring your own experience to the discussion as well. The case is also instructive on a question that came up repeatedly in the residency: how small powers can negotiate successfully with more powerful counterparts. As you read the case, reflect on the following questions:

(a)What were the BATNAs of Malta and the United Kingdom? How did they see their BATNAs?

(b)How did Dom Mintoff shape the perception of the bargaining range—and perceptions of what was barely acceptable to Malta?

(c) What other tactics for effective distributive bargaining (as discussed in the readings, lecture and during the residency—including anchoring, concession patterns/strategies and commitment strategies) did Dom Mintoff use successfully to obtain such a favorable agreement?

(d)How did the British try to counter Malta’s tactics, and why did they fail?

(e) What were the risks of Mintoff’s bargaining approach?
