This comprehensive guide explains how to create simulations of
international relations for the purposes of both teaching and
research. Hemda Ben-Yehuda, Luba Levin-Banchik, and Chanan Naveh
offer as a model their hallmark project The World Politics
Simulations, which involves participants representing various
states, nonstate actors, and media organizations embroiled in an
international political crisis. Following the trajectory of a
simulation, the authors describe theory, implementation, and
analysis. Starting with a typology of simulations, they present a
framework for selecting the most suitable one for a given teaching
situation, based on academic setting, goals, costs, and other
practical considerations. They then provide step-by-step
instructions for creating simulations on cyber platforms,
particularly Facebook, complete with schedules, guidelines, sample
forms, teaching tips, and student exercises. Throughout the
simulation, and especially during the final analysis, they explain
how to reinforce learning and foster critical thinking, creativity,
teamwork, and other essential skills. The authors conclude with
suggestions for using data gathered during a simulation for
scholarly research. Instructors in both introductory and advanced
courses in political science, international relations, media,
history, and area studies-as well as leaders of professional
training programs in the civil and military service and media
organizations-will find this guide invaluable.
