International Crisis Management Exercise 2018
Demonstrating the Complexity of International Crisis Management
The culmination of the Great Decisions program offers a role-play exercise where students serve as members of the National Security Council and work together to develop recommendations for an acting president regarding a timely, international crisis.
Participating high school students are given specific role assignments (e.g. Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, etc.) and are expected to prepare by reading a crisis briefing and researching their assigned job titles. To keep discussions challenging and lively all day long, a group of college student “troublemakers” is assigned to interrupt the National Security Council’s deliberation at the roundtable with surprising updates and curveballs.
