The Department of International and Comparative Politics

of American University of Central Asia

announces

a call for participation in our annual

International Crisis Game

Crisis in Syria

The department would like to provide an opportunity for students to learn about foreign policy decision making by playing roles of major actors engaged in major international crises. This time the crisis game will be devoted to the ongoing issues in and around Syria, and each team will have to propose their visions on development in regard to this. The game is intended to raise the awareness of students about the nature of conflicts, help them better understand various political aspects and behavior of actors in the region, analyze the wider international context of the ongoing conflict, and improve their leadership and team skills.

The game is open to any English-speaking student from universities in Bishkek (and beyond).
