Finding a TOPIC
Three Strategies for Choosing a Topic
- Choose something you already know a great deal about, but of which you hadn't really considered the political aspects (e.g. FOOD)
- Choose something you need to know more about for your future dream job (e.g. CIA)
- Choose something you know nothing about, but it seems important, really relevant to the current international system, and compelling (e.g. ISIS)

Choose Real World vs. Simulation
Simulation
Did it not end up the way you though it should? If so, argue for an alternative outcome from within the simulation context (i.e. argue as if you are still playing your role).
Simulation
Real-World
Did the simulation help to spawn an idea for how you think your real world counterparts might act to achieve better results?
- If so, focus on a policy recommendation paper that recommends a real-world change.
Engaging With Others
Choose Real World vs. Simulation
Audience
Who you are addressing? Ideally, you're addressing those with the most power to enact the change, either within your own government or beyond.
Audience
BEST IDEAS
With either of the above options, you should consider countering the arguments of other policy makers within your own country. If someone is arguing to address an issue using force, and you feel diplomacy is best, feel free to use this time to argue an alternative point.
BEST IDEAS
STAKEHOLDERS
Convince the policy maker you are addressing who would benefit from this recommendation (e.g. public opinion, alliances, the world, etc.) and who would not.
Issue(s) & Background
Choose Real World vs. Simulation
Issues
Issue(s)
Explain which key issues your recommendation will address. Be sure to explain why you believe these issue(s) are the most important.
Background Materials
Briefly explain how the issue(s) were manifested based on the background information. Be sure to include citations.
Simulation
Briefly explain how the issue(s) evolved within the simulation. Be sure to include citations.
Simulation
Criticial Junctures
Simulation
One of the most important parts of policy analysis is determining the critical junctures, or the period of times when key decisions were made that altered the course of events.
Recommendation
Choose Real World vs. Simulation
Change Events
The purpose of this section is then to focus on one or more of the critical juncture moments in the simulation.
Change Events
Simulation Change
Simulation Change
If you think the simulation events unfolded in the wrong directions, argue for which actions you would have liked to have seen instead.
Simulation Change
Real-World Change
If you think the simulation events unfolded in the right way, argue for how the real-world policy makers might adopt this same path.
Policy Options
Include all options for policy changes
Policy Options
Best & Worst
Simulation
Determine the best option for action and the worst
Explain why you would rank the best option as such and the worst as such.
