Welcome to the Companion Website for The Gamer's Guide to International Relations by Michael A. Allen.
Ready Player One meets Foreign Affairs—everything your students need to know about international relations through the lens of video games!
The Gamer's Guide to International Relations uses massively popular video games as a stepping stone to learning about international relations. The study of international relations concerns itself with critical topics like war, civil war, terrorism, human rights, trade, monetary policy, and the environment.
Each of these areas of human need, crisis, and response can be difficult to understand. However, gamers already implicitly understand the international world through the games they play. Drawing upon lessons gamers learn through gameplay, this volume guides readers as to how their existing knowledge can help untangle some of the most complicated topics facing humanity.
