BLST 361 - National Model Organization of African Unity

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

This is a course in which students prepare for and participate in the annual National Model Organization of African Unity, held each March in Washington, DC. Students research the foreign policy concerns of a particular African state, and then represent that state over an intensive four-day model conference. Students from some forty other institutions attend this conference as delegates from OAU member states. Through simulation, augmented by briefings at African embassies in Washington, student delegates gain a better and clearer understanding of the various determinants, capabilities, and constraints that shape the domestic and foreign policies of each country as well as the patterns of cooperation and conflict that characterize intra-African diplomacy. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. One hour. Mr. Turner.
