Overall, the site is extremely well organized, with great annotations and icons, and fairly comprehensive links. Some of the categories contain very extensive links, but the lack of annotation is a limitation. The lack of annotation and the odd organization might make the site a little too confused to be a primary jumping off point, but it is a very valuable resource base nonetheless. Students at participating institutions simulate foreign policy decision making and negotiations to help acquire a better grasp of the complex practice of world politics. The site also has a research library with links to treaties, U.S. government information, international organizations, news sources, country specific resources, issue-specific resources and search engines.
Participation requires a fee.
The sample message stream is useful for evaluation. The site is very well organized. The site provides links to home pages, a repository of syllabi, and good information on the case method in general. There is also a CaseNet listserve with 42 subscribers that accompanies the site. A good resource for IR teaching.
