National Model Organization of African Unity
Course Description
This is a course in which students prepare for and participate in
the annual National Model Organization of African Unity, held each
March in Washington, DC. Students research the foreign policy concerns
of a particular African state, and then represent that state over
an intensive four-day model conference. Students from some forty
other institutions attend this conference as delegates from OAU
member states. Through simulation, augmented by briefings at African
embassies in Washington, student delegates gain a better and clearer
understanding of the various determinants, capabilities, and constraints
that shape the domestic and foreign policies of each country as
well as the patterns of cooperation and conflict that characterize
intra-African diplomacy. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
