Elections and Governmental Responsibility: Exploring a Normative Problem with Simulations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brooker, Russell G. – Simulation and Games, 1983
Examines four simulation games used in higher education to teach the role of elections in promoting governmental responsibility, the effects of imperfect accountability on governmental policy, and ways to make governments more accountable. These games simulate interest group lobbying, political party formation, bureaucratic policy making, and…
