International Strategic Crisis Negotiation Exercise
The International Strategic Crisis Negotiation Exercise (ISCNE) is a small-scale diplomatic simulation produced by the U.S. Army War College. Student delegates are divided into multiple country teams, and work with a USAWC Fellow, who serves as their mentor for the exercise. Each of the delegations represent a nation or interested global actor at a simulated peace conference. The USAWC only conducts 15 of these exercises annually and SCONA is one of the few undergraduate institutions where it is offered. The ISCNE is among the most popular events for our delegates, as it is a highly engaging and exciting opportunity for students to exercise their diplomatic skills and knowledge of regional conflicts.
MSC SCONA presents “Jammu-Kashmir”
MSC on February 11 & 12, 2025
This scenario addresses the longest running frozen conflict still in existence- the dispute between India and Pakistan over the region known as Jammu-Kashmir. After many years, a return to negotiations is triggered by a rapid and significant rise in tensions along the Line of Control (LOC). This splits Jammu-Kashmir into Indian- and Pakistani- occupied regions. In this situation, a new political party has found significant support among Kashmiri people across the region on both sides of the LOC. The support is to such an extent that this political party has established what is in essence a shadow-government that unites the region. Thus, it is invited to these talks as a representative of the Kashmiri peoples. The negotiations are established by the UN Security Council.
