Policy Simulation: The Mid-East Dilemma

November 8, 2007
Tufts University Campus
Professor Ronnie Olesker facilitated a policy simulation, of her own design, in which students assumed the roles of various actors throughout the Middle East and engaged in decision-making processes and negotiations, simulating those that occur in the Middle East today. The purpose of the simulation was to give students a better understanding of the various factors that influence policy and actions in the Middle East and the complexities of such decision-making processes.
