ISBN: 9780998851808.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging the United Nations is an accessible introduction to the UN and a guide to prepare for a Model UN simulation. Each chapter is introduced by a comic that relates the parallel stories of two young women, one a refugee on the receiving end of international institutions, and the other a recent college graduate whose work shows the bureaucratic side of the UN. Each chapter has three sections: Content, which discusses theory, history, and facts like a standard textbook; Skills, which focuses on the essential skills of research, writing, effective communication, and diplomacy needed to excel as a delegate to a Model UN conference; and Exercises, which explores these skills in a classroom setting. The plight of refugees is central to the narrative of the comic portion of the text, and a portion of the proceeds of this book will be given to refugee assistance efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingramspark Press (January 1, 2017)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429031637045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0998851809","price":27.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780998851808_d1514daf-f9cc-4638-a404-0ff3fd613dc9.jpg?v=1784310336","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/engaging-the-united-nations-a-brief-introduction-to-the-un-9780998851808","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
