The Week 6 draft of the Simulation Report will be submitted so that the instructor can provide feedback, before final grading. The Simulation Report that will be graded, will be submitted in Week 8. Students should take advantage of instructor’s feedback and revise their initial submission.

Students will continue figuring out the facts involved with the Iranian Nuclear Simulation by reviewing the course information and instructions provided under Week 5 and 6 and reviewing Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 and all completed Assignments and Discussions. This will enable you to build a working knowledge, as you work towards completing your Draft of the Iranian Nuclear Simulation Report, Literature Review and Bibliography. The Final draft will be submitted in Week 8.

The Simulation Report

Role Play

There is a Simulation Project in this course. The simulation is involves a role play scenario where you are required to study an international relations situation and produce a Report along with the Literature Review and a Bibliography. You will either take on the personality and perspectives of Iran, United States, China, Russia, European Union (EU-3) or the United Nations (AIEA). Go online to yahoo.com, googlescholar.com or other search engine and search any terms that you do not understand. For example, “EU-3 and Iran nuclear”, “AIEA”, “AIEA and Iran nuclear”, “Iran nuclear”, “Russia and Iran nuclear”, “the US and Iran nuclear, etc. Flash review online videos, speeches, news reports, websites, policy statements, White House documents and reports, UN documents and reports and other materials to gain knowledge regarding this international relations (IR) issue.

Research the position that you have been assigned to play. Also learn of the positions and perspectives of the other key actors involved in this Simulation Project, so that your assertions are more persuasive and insightful. After researching the position of your actor on the Iran Nuclear issue you should also make yourself familiar with several of the arguments of the other actors, so that you can state your position even stronger.

Students can learn by playing roles of different states, world leaders and organizations. Students may experience some of the dilemmas and issues involved in world politics and will be able to test for themselves the applicability of different theoretical positions involved in the analysis of international relations.

Future Skills

Some of you may become diplomats, ambassadors or find yourself working as a professional in the international arena.  Therefore, this simulation aims to provide you with a hands-on approach to International Relations.

Students can also benefit by actively learning.

  • How to develop strategy and implement it
  • About the use and importance of diplomacy in attempting to reach one’s objectives
  • How to write up position papers, and
  • How to focus on key issues when negotiating.

Review Our WorldClassRoom

There is a wealth of useful information under Home, then select “Simulation Project”. Also research and locate additional materials to help you understand, interpret and communicate perspective, in the Simulation Project. Use and apply IR concepts and theories studied in our course. Review your Assignments and Discussions for help developing analytical insight.

Although there is no specific length, your handbook should demonstrate that you were able to complete the following tasks:

  • Create a timeline of key events from your actor’s point of view, related to the Simulation Project. Include historical events as well
  • Write an opening statement. Also include a final proposed solution, from your avatar’s perspective
  • Develop a position summary of your actor’s position on the nuclear situation
  • Explain how was this issue significant to your nation?
  • Articulate the policy objectives of your nation?
  • Explain who are your allies and adversaries on these issues?
  • Set forth the various strategies that could be pursued in the negotiations?
  • Explain whether you reached your objectives? Why or Why not?
  • Articulate your final recommendations to the international community?
  • Set forth your role profile (background, points, facts, statement of the position of your actor)
  • Develop a final position argument to support your actor’s position on the situation as if you were going to present it at a multilateral conference in front of the media
  • Provide maps and other information
  • Write your handbook (Final Simulation Report) as if you have prepared it for a multilateral conference of all parties to discuss to resolve this crises
  • Provide helpful websites and maps, graphics and other visuals to enhance your explanation of what is happening and why.

TIP: Prepare Your Simulation Report, Literature Review and Bibliography as if it were for a Conference

Pretend that the ultimate goal of your Report, Literature Review and Bibliography) is to present it at a Conference. For example, a UN General Assembly meeting, at which players will present position papers regarding their role and perspectives, to negotiate agreements to resolve any outstanding issues arising during the simulation. Also imagine that this meeting or Conference will determine the actions of the various countries involved and outcomes. Be sure to ask for what your avatar wants, in terms of what will happen regarding the Iranian nuclear situation.

TIP: Role Profile

Part of this project involves developing a role profile. The object of the game for the students is to reach the objectives they set out in their Role Profile and enhance the position of their role in the game.  The role profile should show that you can imagine and set forth in writing:

  • A description of your actor’s political agenda
  • Character traits, background and interests
  • Long- and short-term political objectives
  • Who are your allies and opponents?

When you represent your country or when you interact with other leaders, you will need to know their position on particular issues.  This is a very important task, and requires the students to engage in a considerable amount of research. Students show considerable initiative in tackling this task. For example, you may want to contact, or visit the website of the embassy of your role. For many, this may be your first attempt at “real” research. You are encouraged to find primary sources such as speeches, books or articles written by the leader of your country/organization, or interviews. Please use maps, pictures, audio, video materials, original documents to create your role profile.

TIP: Timeline of Major Events in the Nuclear Crisis

Research and present the critical dates related to the current Iranian nuclear crises from the point of view of your actor’s position in its relations with Iran. You can also add critical milestone dates with other countries and organizations involved in the crises.  Use any format you prefer. You can be creative in using pictures, graphics, audio and video clips to enhance your presentation.

This list will eventually become your Bibliography and the Literature Review and Bibliography Assignment.

TIP: Webster Library and On-Line Resources

In addition to searching online, remember that you have Webster Library resources at your disposal. Go to http://webster.edu Click on “library” (type in your ID the way it asks you).

There are also various online books (eBooks) and other materials available. You can also search for information using YouTube and other online video databanks. Always remember to search other websites too by going to Yahoo, Google or other search engines, and do a key word search on that issue that you’re writing about. You never know what you might find. Videos, news clips, reports. Have fun and good luck. Key words will be “Iran and Nuclear”, “China’s position on Iran Nuclear” and so on. Try to locate 20-40 resources on the subject concerning key actors and Iran’s nuclear program. These references will be used for your Literature Review and Bibliography.
