Learning through repetition: using "simple" simulations to teach basic principles of international negotiations (original) (raw)

How to efficiently teach in an increasingly complex field like European Studies is subject to a burgeoning literature. At the same time, the use of simulations to convey fundamental concepts and theories at an undergraduate level is catching on particularly in international relations (IR). To complement more traditional forms of teaching at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) such as lectures, the broadening of pedagogical methods to include simulation-based learning has the potential to impart important competences to the student body, including public speaking, debating, communicating and negotiating skills.
