The International Crisis Management Exercise is a scenario, role-play exercise that takes place on a Saturday during the spring semester. In this daylong simulation, students act as members of the National Security Council and work together to come up with recommendations for an acting President regarding a mock international crisis.
From the ten high schools participating in the Council’s educational program Great Decisions, a group of students are selected from each school to assume the roles of members of the National Security Council and represent different agencies or interests in the U.S. Government. Participation in this impactful and highly educational event is selective. Teachers choose their respective 4-6 participants based on their overall attendance and participation in the Great Decisions meetings during the past academic year.
The exercise simulates the U.S. Government’s handling of a mock international crisis. All events of the day will be fictional, but plausible. With Ambassador Nancy Soderberg and Admiral Jonathan Howe, USN (Ret.) acting as Presidents, students must work together to come up with advice and recommendations regarding various aspects of the international crisis.

Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.

2. COURSE LECTURE TOPICS
• Interest Groups Protecting Elite Values
• Lobbyists And The Power They Possess
• Political Action Committees (PACs)
• Public Interest Groups
• Single Interest Groups
• Pro-Life Versus Pro-Choice
• Presidential Power
• Campaign Rhetoric
3. DEFENDERS OF THE STATUS QUO
Interest Groups Protect Established Elite Values.
1. Organized interests favor upper classes.
2. Organized interests favor conservative strategies of influence.
3. Single-issue groups are more representative of their members
than traditional interest groups.
Lobbyists are Government Elites.
1. Lobbyists’ greatest success is in campaign contributions.
2. PACs originate one-third of all campaign contributions.
4. POLITICAL MESSAGE EXAMPLE
Political hit pieces do not only
focus on candidates. They can
also be utilized for all types of
messages whether they are
political in nature or not. This ad
focuses on two issues: anthrax
and liberal activists. Can you
identify the targets of this ad?
5. POLITICAL MESSAGE EXAMPLE
The 911 terrorist attacks
helped spark a swarm of
political ads and cartoons that
strived to influence public
opinion. These cartoons focus
on Osama Bin Laden and the
fallacy of his agenda.
6. THE PRESIDENCY
The Power of a President lies in his ability to provide means
for chosen ends.
1. He facilitates elite interaction with those who seek consensus
with each other.
2. He governs only within the boundaries of elite consensus.
Presidential power is symbolic, attracting mass attention and
emotion.
Presidential power is multiplied when he uses formal powers.
1. Commander in Chief (war-making) powers can commit the
nation to war.
2. Vietnam showed congressional support for commitment.
3. Presidential non-compliance with the War Powers Act showed
refusal to follow congressional consent requirements.
7. SINGLE INTEREST GROUPS
PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
Single Interest Groups (SIGs) are
smaller, but more efficient than Public
Interest Groups (PIGs). SIGs are
effective, because their members are
very committed to the cause. They
commit themselves to a cause that is
very ideological. These individuals
tend to favor ideological based voting
rather than security or economic
issues of concern. The majority of
American voters cast votes according
to security or economic concerns.
Enjoy this video detailing the Pro-Life
Movement.
8. SINGLE INTEREST GROUPS
PRO-CHOICE MOVEMENT
Single Interest Groups (SIGs) are
smaller, but more efficient than Public
Interest Groups (PIGs). SIGs are
effective, because their members are
very committed to the cause. They
commit themselves to a cause that is
very ideological. These individuals
tend to favor ideological based voting
rather than security or economic
issues of concern. The majority of
American voters cast votes according
to security or economic concerns.
Enjoy this video detailing the Pro-
Choice Movement.
9. PRESIDENTIAL POWER EXAMPLE
The greatest power a US President has
at their possession is the bully pulpit.
Great care is necessary for a president’s
words have great influence over the
hearts and minds not only of American
citizens, but people all over the world.
Two clips are presented for review. The
first is this presentation of President
Ronald Reagan’s famous speech, “Tear
Down This Wall” given at the Berlin Wall
on June 12, 1987. The second are spoof
made by President Bill Clinton and his
team before leaving the presidency. Do
both pull on your emotional heartstrings?
10. 911 – RALLY AROUND THE FLAG
Does the United States still
maintain the degree of
heartfelt international
support following 911?
11. PRESIDENTIAL DECISIONS
Informal or persuasion powers place the president in the
center of decision making.
1. President George H. Bush’s Gulf War policy and victory gave
leadership and reassurance to the masses.
2. President Bill Clinton’s economic policy gave personalized
government and simplified political issues to the masses.
3. President George W. Bush’s war on terrorism and homeland
security policies give the masses protection.
12. CAMPAIGN RHETORIC
Campaign rhetoric is based on one or more
of the following with the first two remaining
the most prevalent:
1. National Security
2. National Economy
3. Social / Nuisances Issues
President George H. Bush’s Gulf War policy
and victory may have ended America’s
“Vietnam Syndrome”, yet he still lost to Bill
Clinton. Perhaps the national economy rose
to prominence in the eyes of the electorate.
Another point deserving our attention is
President H. Bush’s reversal against his “No
New Taxes Pledge” made to key supporters
during the 1988 presidential election.
