PSC 385 - Multiculturalism and Diplomacy

three credits
Diplomacy, negotiation and foreign policy decision-making.  Students will learn the theory of negotiation from structured student-participation discussions.  Students then participate in a multi-university, multi-national foreign policy web-based simulation exercise that helps illustrate the problems and possibilities of international interactions, in which students negotiate with other ‘state’ diplomats to achieve foreign policy goals concerning such issues as drug trafficking, terrorism, human rights, world health, the environment and debt and development.
