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 “The Arctic: Power, Profit, and Preservation on the Frozen Frontier”
MSC on February 10 & 11, 2026
Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Russia, and the US are trying to get ahead of issues with the Arctic opening up to increased trade, militarization, resource exploitation, and indigenous peoples rights. With Russia being suspended from the Arctic Council, and their dominance of the majority of Arctic coastline, major powers are attempting to ensure that the Arctic remains free and protected from human impact.
