4th SPD - Special Political and Decolonization
Topic Synopsis
Director: Joshua So
Contact: [email protected]
Hello, delegates. I’m Joshua, your chair for 4th SPD. For the past 5 years in MUN, I’ve taken as many committees as possible centered around global politics, so it brings me great joy to be chairing another conference, this time with topics I’ve specifically selected. Throughout these past 5 years, I’ve learned that there is no possible way to describe and explain a well throughout and VIABLE solution within one minute, but as delegates, we must try. Furthermore, there are many other countries whose interests will directly conflict with your goal on these controversial topics. My challenge to all delegates is to know and stick to your country’s policy and understand the complex global, political interests at play when proposing solutions on any topic. Hopefully, the proposals of political solutions will at least save us from asking the unsolvable question of funding.
As a hyper-competitive person by nature, I understand the hunger and drive to win awards at conferences. However, I will not be the last to tell you that as much as awards are nice to have, the value of your MUN experience in the long-term will be determined by the effort you give to your preparation and performance. Do you truly understand the complexities of the situation and your policy? Are your solutions truly politically realistic, feasible to implement, and scalable? Honing your skills in disciplined preparation, critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, and presentation is the true purpose of this committee. So, if you can keep all that in mind as you give your best to compete, then hopefully you will walk away from my committee satisfied simply by the effort YOU have put in and fulfilled in a way that goes beyond a piece of paper or gavel.
