Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Teaching the dynamics of world politics requires dynamic teaching methods. Students often engage in simulations to learn dynamic processes. These simulations, however, are almost always prepared for them, and lose direct ownership by students. An even more direct engagement with global practice can be had when students write the simulations themselves. This paper describes a course in which several small groups of students write (and revise) simulations in which all students participate (at the end of the semester). Although the success of this method relies upon the diversity of available material (globalization entails a diverse array of interdisciplinary perspectives and practices), the method might also be useful in other contexts. I argue for the value of the method by analyzing its underlying principles.
