INT 310 - EUROPEAN UNION SIMULATION

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

International Studies

Description:

This course involving the reenactment of international relationships introduces students to the history, policies and structure of the European Union through their class's preparation for and participation in the European Union Simulation held annually in Washington, DC. Each year students assume the perspective of a minister or another delegate on a team of representatives from one country to the European Union. The viewpoint of the member country emerging from this role-play is analyzed in detail in preparation for debates at the Simulation's European Parliament. In addition to a thorough understanding of the member country's political system and the views of its political parties on the social, political, economic or educational issues to be debated, preparation for the three-day simulation also includes studying the historical evolution of the European Union, and an examination of its political, social, economic, and institutional dynamics. A participation fee is required.
