Feste, Karen Ann Case Studies Conflict Resolution Data Analysis Decision Making Decision Making Skills Educational Games Foreign Policy Game Theory Higher Education International Relations Learning Activities Middle Eastern Studies Military Science Policy Formation Political Science Problem Solving Productive Thinking Simulation Tables (Data) Teaching Methods War World Problems The Middle East decision making game has been developed to provide college level political science students with some indication of the complexities of international political situations. The central issue examined in the game is the way in which perceptions of a conflict relate to foreign policy decision. The game is divided into two sections. In the first section, students are directed to study historical data and policy statements relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Some data is presented in the document, along with analysis exercises and simple statistical and computer assignments, and some data is gathered through library research. Major topics which students are to analyze include complexities facing decision-makers, military variables in the Middle East situation, the role of the United Nations, interest group attitudes, the Middle East Policy, Zionism, Palestinian refugees, the Suez Canal, and oil. Section one can be utilized as a self-contained module without the role-playing exercise. Section two describes and presents rules and regulations for the Middle East role-play exercise. Students are assigned positions on a game team (an Arab nation, the United States, the United Nations, the Press) and are asked to write a policy paper which is received and responded to by other teams. Policy papers, called game moves, deal with topics such as formation of military alliances, foreign aid agreements, and mobilization of military forces. Forms for recording game moves, identifying issues emphasized in the game, and evaluating the game are included. (Author/DB) |
