Korean Futures Project: International Simulation, 26-28 January 2000
Abstract
The main purpose of this simulation was to explore international reactions to political change in North Korea and to the broader security implications of developments in the North. Players also confronted related difficulties in the scenario, such as refugee flows across international borders. To accomplish this, the simulation engaged mid- to high-level participants from 15 countries in a United Nations Security Council setting. Every country except North Korea was represented by a national. The simulation examined issues relevant to a Northeast Asian security crisis with international ramifications. The primary goal of the simulation was to explore the relationships among nations utilizing regional and global security fora. Specific objectives were as follows: (1) to explore regional and global security issues; (2) to explore crisis prevention, response, and resolution; (3) to elicit representative national perspectives on Northeast Asia and global issues; (4) to exercise conflict prevention, management, and resolution techniques; and (5) to enhance understanding of the opportunities and constraints on national policies. This report provides background information on the Korean Futures Project and the International Game/Simulation Series, and describes the actual simulation sessions. General observations and policy implications are included.
