Simulating Negotiations in a Three-Way Civil War
Shaw, Carolyn M.
Journal of Political Science Education, v2 n1 p51-71 Jan 2006
This article examines a role play scenario in which students actively learn about the challenges of negotiation by taking on the roles of different factions and international mediators in a three-way civil war. Students gain a greater appreciation for the complexities of negotiations both in terms of outcomes and process, and they may begin to develop skills that can be used throughout their lives even if they do not become professional negotiators. (Contains 6 notes.)
