SPECIALIZED COMMITTEES

Special body committees that may have some crisis elements or special procedures.

French Assemblée nationale

Chair: Cohen fitzwater (cjf97@cornell.edu)

Up to 30-40 delegates

As deputies to the French National Assembly, delegates will be tasked with guiding the nation of France. Deputies must work together to solve pressing domestic and geopolitical issues while navigating constitutional crises, scandals, and setbacks. Deputies will be pushed to act creatively and cooperatively across party lines and disagreements, separating the ordinary from the crème de la crème of French politics.

Finnish Independence

Chair: Linnea nordman (ljn36@cornell.edu)

Up to 30-40 delegates

The year is 1918, and Finland has just declared independence from Russia. Now, with the future looming ahead of them, it is up to the members of the current Finnish government to decide how to move forward with a brand-new country. Struggles between the Conservative and Social Democratic parties have quickly turned violent, and it is up to this committee to unite the nation under a democratic system. Within this committee, delegates will be creating the new Finnish constitution and structure of government. It is up to the delegates to decide what Finland’s future will look like and how the country will support reform.
