This course provides an overview of the mission, structure, and operation of the United Nations. The course is presented through the framework of Model United Nations in which students develop a deeper understanding of the organization by adopting roles as representatives of member nations. The course utilizes a semester-long simulation in which students draft policy proposals, hold negotiations, practice problem-solving, and present statements and arguments in front of the class. The course will also discuss many of the organizations within the United Nations umbrella, including the World Health Organization, the International Criminal Court, the World Bank, and others.
