DIRE STRAITS crisis simulation
Ìý
Â鶹AV's third annual megagame, DIRE STRAITS explores crisis stability in East and Southeast Asia in the context of an unpredictable Trump Administration, growingÌýChinese strategic power, and multiple regional crises.
How will the region and the world deal with the challenge of North Korean nuclear weapons? Will China consolidate its hold over the South China Sea? How might relations between Beijing and TaiwanÌýdevelop if the latter decides to adopt a more independent path? And how will the White House—beset by scandal, factional infighting, and an angry, unpredictable President—respond?

Approximately one hundred participants will assume the roles of national decision-makers, diplomats, military commanders, intelligence analysts, international organizations,Ìýjournalists, and others.
DIRE STRAITS is a non-profit activity cosponsored byÌý, theÌýÂ鶹AV Political Science Students Association, and theÌýEast Asian Studies Students' Association at Â鶹AV.
