World 101

The goal of World101 is to make international relations and foreign policy compelling and accessible through instruction on how the world works and how international events and issues influence us all. Each module provides an overview of the topic and historical background for context, and explores implications for today's world.

Model Diplomcy

Model Diplomacy is a National Security Council simulation that engages students to understand the challenges of shaping and implementing foreign policy. With hypothetical case studies based on real-world issues and content informed by Council on Foreign Relations experts, Model Diplomacy is the most comprehensive and authoritative simulation program available. Students learn through a combination of independent research using multimedia resources and direct interaction with their teachers and peers.

Education

Students today live in a world more connected than at any point in history, where fast-spreading viruses, carbon emissions, and scientific breakthroughs transcend borders. To successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead requires that they develop global literacy—the essential knowledge, skills, and perspective needed to understand how our complicated and fascinating world works.

Foreign Affairs

Published by the Council on Foreign Relations since 1922, just a year after the organization’s founding, Foreign Affairs has long been America’s leading forum for serious discussion of foreign policy and international affairs.
