POSC 232 PS Lab: Simulation Research 3 credits
Simulations, games and role-play exercises are commonly used as experiential learning tools to help students understand complex problems. They can also be used in a research context to explore processes that are difficult to observe in the field or that involve strategic, adversarial and interactive social choices among multiple actors (such as red team exercises). In this lab we will explore the use of simulation as a tool for social inquiry and policy making and use participant observation approaches to gather data from a large simulation exercise.

POSC 232 PS Lab: Intelligence Methods for National Security 3 credits
This course is designed to look at two or three lesser-covered current crises around the world. Students will study the issue from all sides, and assess what the stated and actual policy objectives are for all sides in the conflict. Students will take a hard look at the kind of intelligence requirements that a national leader or other policymaker might levy on the security apparatus to better inform the policy-making process, and consider how tools of national power might be applied by all sides to gain leverage or even to solve the crises situation.
