Overview

This unit examines a number of interrelated themes dealing with the resolution of various types of complex policy problems. Students will be assigned specific roles and participate in extended problem-based simulations. These theoretically grounded simulations require students to work strategically with classmates to resolve the issue according to role-specific objectives. Students will explore a number of factors that may prevent or accelerate the escalation of such policy problems.
