Practising Transnational Politics: Preparing and Participating in UN and EU Simulations

"This informative book prepares scholars, university staff and students for simulations of the United Nations and the European Union. It provides essential knowledge, including introductions into the institutions, case studies, reflections on active learning, as well as concrete teaching modules and practices. Chapters present essential background knowledge as well as an actionable course plan and syllabus that allows teachers to prepare for and organise UN and EU simulations. The chapter contents are designed in order to support students to successfully act as delegates for an assigned country and thus gain a unique understanding of political practice. Ultimately, the book transmits how political action shapes the practice of transnational politics. Practising Transnational Politics is a valuable resource for scholars, students and educators of international relations, politics, EU studies and public policy looking to enhance their engagement in the UN, the EU, and simulations. It is also beneficial for those interested in participating in or preparing others for Model United Nations, Model European Union or other model simulations"-- Provided by publisher.
