National Security Simulation - Great Power Competition, Non-State Actors & Human Rights

1.5 credits · School of Public Policy

Students will participate in a seven-week national security simulation where they will have an assigned role as a state or non-state actor and work with teams to develop policy responses to a security crisis that changes and develops over time. Simulation will involve great power competition between the United States and China, as both powers pressure the other through non-state actor proxies. Students should have two prior courses relating to foreign policy, national security, or international relations, or relevant job experience in the field.
