All the World’s a Stage: The Theater of Political Simulations: International Studies Intensives

Autor Hemda Ben-Yehuda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2020
Classroom role-playing simulations bring the drama of politics to life and enrich
traditional learning by plunging students into the midst of historical or current
events. Ben-Yehuda gives students and instructors the resources and confidence
to embark on a careful enactment of scenarios that will inspire enthusiasm in
participants and stick in the memory long after the curtain falls. The book includes
in-depth discussions of three possible theatrical simulations: appeasement in
1938 Munich, the regional turmoil following the 1947 UN Palestine Partition
decision, and the Syrian civil war and ongoing global confrontation with ISIS. It
is appropriate for students in global studies courses at all levels.

Recenzii

Praise for All the World’s a Stage: The Theater of Political Simulations
All the World’s a Stageis an outstanding contribution to pedagogy in general and the use of simulation in particular for the field of International Relations (IR). This fascinating new book uses a theater-based metaphor to communicate principles and approaches for carrying out simulations. The volume is distinguished by its creative yet also practical approach. Instructors and students alike will find the case studies, which focus on preparation and teamwork, to be very enlightening. The study makes excellent use of historical cases such as Munich 1938 while also maintaining a clear connection to contemporary issues in world politics.All the World’s a Stageis essential reading for scholars with interests in active learning, along with those in the field at a more general level, because of its clear and effective presentation of the most pressing issues in the field.
--Patrick James, University of Southern California
From one of academia’s most experienced designers and implementers of role-playing simulations in higher education, comes this innovative and lively book for educators and students alike.All the World’s a Stageis accessible and applicable to faculty and students, providing a unique insight into how simulations are created to advance knowledge and understanding of the real world of international politics. Anyone in higher education wishing to create simulations for their classrooms should have this book, where they are not only given clear instructions, theoretical underpinnings, and invaluable insights on role-playing simulations, but a handbook for creating their own and involving students in the process.
--Mary Jane Parmentier, Arizona State University
In this brilliant book, Ben-Yehuda brings the readers to a world stage, sharing her long-lasting experience in using simulations as a teaching tool. The pedagogical value of active learning processes - the management of an international political crisis, by playing the roles of states, nonstate actors, and media - is nowadays recognized by instructors from various universities. Enriched with tables, case studies and anecdotes, this book is a must-read for those concerned with making their courses more attracting and an essential textbook for students interested in "learning by doing." Becoming "active learners" is a practice which, once adopted, will be never abandoned.
--Daniela Irrera, University of Catania
This book is a must for amplifying student engagement and learning in political science and international studies classrooms. The author, a recognized expert on simulations, takes us inside the simulation process and highlights critical success factors. Three key, in-depth case studies bring to life the power (and fun) of simulations both for professors and students.
--Nanette Levinson, American University
