“…Study abroad must be a cornerstone of any international program since it provides a cultural immersion experience, illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of international understanding. If developing international understanding is important, faculty must also be provided incentives to learn about foreign economies, languages, and cultures, and the like, Although only recently utilized by business schools, some colleges instill a global perspective in their students through incorporating Model United Nations simulations into classrooms, regional conferences, and international conferences [Phillips and Muldoon, 1996]. Bentley students, for example, have participated in "international Model United Nations conferences in Puebla (Mexico), Cairo, The Hague, New York, and Toronto" [Phillips and Muldoon, 1996, p. 143].…”

“…The oldest university-based simulation in Europe is The European International Model United Nations, which was established in the Hague in 1987 by American exchange students (Lycée Franco-Hellénique Eugène Delacroix, 2010). However, the available scholarly literature on the organisation, running and pedagogic benefits of the MUN predominantly reflects American experiences and American educational settings (McIntosh, 2001;Muldoon, 1995;Phillips and Muldoon, 1996). This is despite the strong research into studentcentred pedagogy and student ownership of the learning process that has emerged from European academe in the last few decades (Craig and Hale, 2008;Hale, 2005;Kaunert, 2009).…”

“…There appears to be broad consensus among the pedagogic literature about the value of the MUN in scaffolding student awareness of global affairs and the politics of international organisation and about the key skills students develop from participation (negotiation, debating, public speaking, parliamentary procedure etc.) (Hazleton and Jacob, 1983;Karns, 1980;Phillips and Muldoon, 1996). Simpson and Kaussler (2009) highlight the role of simulations in the development of key communication and analytical skills among students and the conveyance of empirical, issue-based knowledge and theoretical understanding.…”

“…It is evident therefore that a broad consensus exists in the pedagogic literature about the value of simulations, such as Model United Nations, in both scaffolding student knowledge of global affairs and the politics of international organisation, and in developing key skills in research, negotiation, debating, public speaking, parliamentary procedure, etc) (Hazleton and Jacob 1983;Karns 1980;Phillips and Muldoon 1996).…”

“…Having originated in the United States of America, the Model United Nations simulation has grown in popularity globally, especially since the end of the Cold War (Deutsche Gesellschaft für die Vereinten Nationen 2001). The growth in membership and topical relevance of the United Nations itself has been largely responsible for the worldwide dissemination of the Model United Nations project, providing the motivation for educators and students alike to embrace the popular Model United Nations simulation as a way of teaching and learning about transnational issues, global governance and diplomacy (Muldoon 1995: 28;Phillips and Muldoon 1996).…”
