UNDERSTANDING AND PLAYING EU DYNAMICS
The appointment of the President of the EU Commission
UNDERSTANDING AND PLAYING EU DYNAMICS
The appointment of the President of the EU Commission
TwinSim is a negotiation model explicitly designed for students of European Politics Master courses. More specifically, the TwinSim is addressed to students enrolled in the MA "Global Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations" (GLOPEM) at UNICT and students enrolled in the MA in Political Sciences focus in European Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations" at the Université de Liège ( Antoine Luc Delens, Justine Kubera, Esther Bleys and Lucas Foester).
The TwinSim scenario is the European Union facing the immediate aftermath of the European elections and the urgent political decision of the appointment of the President of the Commission. Students experience the negotiation between the European Council and the European Parliament aimed at breaking through the strategies and preferences of political parties and Member State governments. The negotiation goal is achieving the appointment of a President with the largest and participated consensus.
The simulation players receive instructions via references, documents, and websites to prepare their strategy and position.
There are three types of players:
- the members of the European Council. They debate about the list of the candidate names, negotiate, and select one of the candidates as the designated President to pass the vote of the EP members. The position of the Council members is based on (a) the European election results and EP party group seats, (b) the preferences of the national governments and political parties, and (c) the political goals of the EP party groups.
- the four largest EP party groups. They debate about the Council designated President to reach to the EP final decision on the name of the candidate President.
- the designated candidate that will be voted by the EP members.
Lunch break
15.00-16.00 Simulation debriefing
16.00 Seminar Closing Session
