PolS 152B Model United Nations

Description:
Since Spring 1993, the Model UN group on campus has been active in a variety of ways- meeting to deal with organizational issues, attending conferences in San Francisco, and discussing issues currently before the United Nations. This semester, the department offers three units of credit for a more structured version of these activities, including participation in the Model UN- Far West conference in Burlingame. We'll meet together weekly at least for some back-ground reading; there after we'll be doing a lot of work individually or in small groups. This year SJSU will represent Brazil and Iraq and is one of the three organizing schools. The Department plans to begin sending the first SJSU student representative to the international Model UN conferences thoughout the world community in the near future (possibly as soon as summer 2003!)
