Countries addressing a major global challenge like climate change, weapons proliferation, or the transnational spread of a deadly virus like Ebola often present their concerns to the United Nations to facilitate intergovernmental cooperation. How this agency achieves its goals is often controversial; nevertheless, understanding the U.N.’s mission and functions remains essential to the study of international relations.

In this course, students learn how the U.N. addresses global concerns. They study the structure and processes of this multilateral institution through readings, discussions, research, and short lectures. They examine how physical, economic, cultural, and political geographies influence and inform policymaking. Concurrently, students hone their writing, speaking, and critical-thinking skills while gaining a working knowledge of international relations theory and history.

Students practice these skills in model United Nations simulations. Each student assumes the role of ambassador for a particular country and performs research to determine where this state would stand on issues before the U.N. Students draft position papers and refine resolutions and present them to a mock meeting of the General Assembly, Security Council, or other U.N. entity. As novice diplomats learning the art of compromise, students negotiate resolutions, learn parliamentary procedure, and build coalitions to represent their country’s best interests while tackling issues multilaterally.

At [[CHS]] 14.2, the last debate turned into a World War III, after Rwanda launched an invasion of the UK, China sanctioned Russia for losing a nuke, and China sent 200,000 troops to invade Rwanda. This probably happened because of World in Conflict, an activity introduced by RA Gerard earlier in the session.
