(Ending) Civil War in the Classroom: A Peacebuilding Simulation
Brynen, Rex
PS: Political Science and Politics, v43 n1 p145-149 Jan 2010
There often exists a problematic gap between more theoretical works on war-to-peace transitions, and the practical challenges that peacebuilding operations face in the field. This article describes the use of classroom simulation to highlight the complexity of contemporary multilateral peace operations. It describes the content and mechanics of the simulation, the issues that can arise in its operation, and strategies for most effectively integrating such a simulation into overall course objectives.
