Missile Defense Project, International Simulation, 7-8 December 2001
Abstract
This simulation/seminar brought experts from seventeen countries and the European Union to the Naval War College to spend a day and a half exploring international reactions to the development, deployment and use of various missile defense architectures. Most participants were senior diplomats or civil servants. The three who were not officials were country experts who represented China, Iran and North Korea; they themselves had extensive experience in those countries and continuing contact. Playing the role of country delegates, participants commented extensively on proposed missile defense architectures and responded to the crises created by the hypothetical threat of launches of missiles carrying weapons of mass destruction from North Korea and Libya. In the seminar phase of the event, participants stepped out of roles and shared their analyses both anonymously in writing and in oral discussion of what transpired in the simulation and its significance.
