Peacekeeping in Kashmir: An American Choice

Peacekeeping in Kashmir: An American Choice

Scenario

This simulation focuses on a meeting of the U.S. National Security Council debating the possible use of peacekeeping forces on the ground in Kashmir. In this fictional case, the U.S. government must consider a peace proposal negotiated between India, Pakistan, and China and put forward by a former U.S. assistant secretary of state acting as mediator. The proposal calls for the deployment of U.S. troops as part of the peacekeeping force.

Simulation participants will role-play selected members of Congress as well as other members of the Bush administration. Their task will be to attend this special meeting of the National Security Council, debate whether or not the proposed deployment is an appropriate use of the U.S. military, and produce written recommendations for the president.
