Unión Europea, relaciones internacionales, presupuesto comunitario, negociación, competencias transversales/prácticasResumen
La Unión Europea es un entramado político, jurídico y económico de enorme complejidad. Cada disciplina se centra únicamente en algunos aspectos y evita otros. Por ello, en ocasiones es difícil que los estudiantes adquieran una visión de conjunto. Además, se ha demostrado que algunas competencias y habilidades importantes no son fácilmente enseñables mediante el modelo tradicional de clase magistral. En particular, competencias transversales y prácticas como pensamiento crítico, trabajo en equipo, negociación, liderazgo, toma de decisiones, etc., que son consideradas herramientas clave por las empresas y las instituciones. Los Juegos de Simulación parecen idóneos para cumplir adecuadamente ambos objetivos. En este trabajo, se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de un juego de simulación sobre la negociación del presupuesto de la Unión Europea con estudiantes de business/empresariales norteamericanos y europeos. El Juego de Simulación del Presupuesto Comunitario se ha diseñado de forma interdisciplinar. Los resultados muestran que este juego de simulación constituye una herramienta poderosa no sólo para que los alumnos comprendan mejor el funcionamiento de la Unión Europea, sino para que entrenen dichas competencias prácticas.
