Simulations have been quite popular in International Relations and Security Studies throughout the last years. Plenty of databanks can be browsed on the internet, offering a multiplicity of different simulations. Currently there exists no simulation on the “War on Drugs” (in German). However, the conflict has been a forward-pressing international topic for many years.
In the course of a seminar, in the winter term 2014/15, students developed a simulation on this conflict, together with Ulrich Hamenstädt, lecturer at the Chair of International Relations and Sustainable Development at the University of Muenster. By the beginning of July 2015, this simulation was played by students from a school at Burgdorf, close to Hanover.
The first Download version of the Simulation “War on Drugs” is now available on this page, right now there exists only in a German version.
