Representation level: CIMIC Liason matrix --- The level of representation is essential to be able to talk on an equal footing when the parties sit down to negotiate at the tactical level. This is the same situation in the CIMIC environment which is solved with a clear liaison matrix (who talks to whom) from the beginning. Agreements can only be closed when there is a decision-making capacity at the same level, otherwise it can be taken as an offense.
