Explore strategic simulation scenarios designed for teaching, experimentation and the analysis of decision-making under conditions of interdependence. Each simulation uses the Strategic Simulation Lab engine, but represents a different strategic environment, set of actors, incentives and learning objectives.
A simulation of cooperation and competition between international actors operating in an interdependent international system.
Participants must distribute resources across different policy areas while deciding when to cooperate, compete, defend their position or attempt to reduce the capabilities of other actors.
A strategic simulation of the global oil market, where individual decisions shape prices, profits and collective outcomes.
Producers offer and consumers demand drive the price of oil
A strategic simulation of elite bargaining during a transition from authoritarian rule, inspired by Adam Przeworski's theory of democratization.
Regime actors, reformers and pressure groups must decide whether to limit their own power in order to make a democratic transition possible.
A strategic simulation of the emerging international governance of Artificial Intelligence, where actors compete and cooperate to shape the future technological and regulatory environment.
Innovation & Market, Power & Security, and Regulation & Rights pursue different strategic objectives while accumulating influence and responding to the decisions of other actors.
A strategic competition scenario focused on the interaction between conventional capabilities, nuclear power, deterrence and rivalry.
Participants confront the trade-offs generated by military accumulation, vulnerability, strategic signaling and the possibility of escalation.
A simulation of corporate decision-making in which individual profitability interacts with supply-chain performance and collective human-rights outcomes.
Participants must balance individual competitive incentives, team interests and the maintenance of public goods whose deterioration can ultimately affect all actors.
A strategic simulation of financial market competition between bullish and bearish investors seeking to influence the price of a common stock.
Bulls and Bears compete across five valuation factors, balancing individual performance with their team's objective of pushing the stock price up or down.
The scenarios presented here provide the narrative, actors, objectives and strategic incentives of each simulation. The underlying mechanics of allocation, cooperation, competition, defense and attack are common to the Strategic Simulation Lab engine.
