Recenzii
D'Agati and Jordan have produced what can only be described as an essential resource for students and faculty advisors involved in Model Arab League. They provide useful guidance on every significant element of the simulation experience, from the logistics of running a MAL team on campus to how one effectively represents a country at conference.Particularly important is their discussion of the rules of procedure and their effective use.The authors are to be commended for what is destined to become the standard reference for the MAL experience.
As the senior person involved in Model Arab League, with 28 years of experience, I can state unequivocally that this volume is an invaluable source for faculty, students, and conference managers. The individual circumstances of schools participating in Model Arab League vary dramatically. But the “best practices” developed in this manual will assist every delegation from start-up operations to the most mature programs to make the experience a more valuable opportunity for student development.
The Model Arab League Manual is an important resource for new students and their advisors to prepare for Model Arab League Conferences. The authors provide a wealth of useful guidance and resources to make conferences better and more rewarding for participants. The inclusion of some of the most important documents will allow students to have a ready-made resource to refer to in committee. Every program that incorporates MAL into its opportunities for students should order a couple of copies.
