“…Pada abad ke-18 hingga 19, Inggris menikmati dominasi perdagangan internasional melalui pelayaran laut dan revolusi industri tenaga mesin uap (McCarthy, 2010). Pasca-Perang Dunia Kedua, Amerika Serikat dan negara-negara pemenang perang lainnya masuk ke era antariksa (O'Brien & Sears, 2011).…”

This article aims to analyze the inequality of geostationary orbits (GSO) utilization in world-system environment using World-systems Theory through qualitative-descriptive analysis. The high level of difficulty in mastering GSO technologies makes countries that do not have financial capacities and space capabilities inevitably use developed countries' GSO satellite products. Based on historical and conceptual approach of the World-systems Theory, the results of the analysis show that inequality of the utilization of GSO is caused by and impacts on the persistence as well as revision of relations among countries in a world-system environment. Class struggle is an action taken naturally by semi-peripheral and periphery countries, including Indonesia, to revise the world-system environment through enhancing autonomy and promote more equitable regulations in GSO utilization. AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis ketimpangan pemanfaatan orbit geostasioner (GSO) dalam lingkungan sistem dunia dengan menggunakan Teori Sistem Dunia secara kualitatif-deskriptif. Tingginya tingkat kesulitan penguasaan teknologi dalam pemanfaatan GSO membuat negara-negara yang tidak memiliki kemampuan finansial dan kapabilitas keantariksaan suka tak suka menggunakan produk-produk satelit GSO dari negara-negara maju. Berdasarkan pendekatan historis dan konseptual dari Teori Sistem Dunia, hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ketimpangan pemanfaatan GSO diakibatkan oleh dan berdampak pada persistensi maupun revisi hubungan antarnegara dalam lingkungan sistem dunia. Perjuangan kelas merupakan tindakan yang dilakukan secara alami oleh negara-negara semi-pinggiran dan pinggiran, termasuk Indonesia, untuk merevisi lingkungan sistem dunia dengan cara meningkatkan kemandirian dan mempromosikan pengaturan yang lebih adil dalam pemanfaatan GSO.

“…With these benefits in mind, educators have used a variety of different simulation and role-playing exercises to explore broad concepts in world history (Pagnotti and Russell, 2011) and international relations (Simpson and Kaussler, 2009;Tessman, 2006;Wheeler, 2006). Still others have focused on specific topics such as the historical legacy of Wernher von Braun (O'Brien and Sears, 2011) and intricacies of constitutional law (Fliter, 2009). Most closely related to this project, several scholars have used simulations or games to illustrate constitutional issues in American politics (Bridge, 2014;Emenaker, 2014;Moore et al, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to detail a simulation exploring the academic and real-world debates surrounding constitutional design. Design/methodology/approach The authors deployed this simulation in different contexts: undergraduate courses in comparative politics and middle school classrooms of gifted students in India. Findings In conjunction with discussion of institutional setup, such as parliamentary vs presidential systems and judicial review vs parliamentary sovereignty, the students were required to design a new constitution for a fictional country that just overthrew a brutal dictator. Throughout the simulation, the students were assigned to be the representatives of a particular ethnic group, each with distinct interests to be represented during the constitutional convention. Originality/value The authors detail the learning objectives and simulation setup for this constitutional convention. Finally, the authors discuss some issues raised by the students during the simulation.

Beyond the “Babel Problem”: Defining Simulations for the Social Studies

Simulation research has become a growing area of interest in the social studies in recent years. Problematically, the term simulation is used without consistency among practitioners and researchers. The conceptual confusion regarding what simulations are (or are not) muddies the field and makes it difficult for scholars to make sense of this phenomenon or to talk about simulations across findings. In order to bring clarity to the field, this paper is framed around two conceptual and analytic constructs: conceptual analysis and the theory of language games. In this paper, I will provide a rationale for why the social studies field requires a specific definition for simulations. Next, simulations will be defined using four specific criteria: verisimilitude, dynamism, active human agents, and pedagogical mediation. Finally, simulations will be differentiated from three related phenomena with which they are often conflated: games, role-plays, and models.
