Suggestions for Solutions

 Hi delegates!

As BMUN grows nearer, I wanted to offer some advice on your solutions and what our dais expects for committee! 


Before diving into the different types of solutions we are hoping to see in committee, I wanted to take this opportunity to revisit our learning goals and expectations for research in hopes that your solutions end up addressing these key points:

  1. The Venezuelan economic crisis has been caused by a variety of factors rather than just one

  2. The primary victims of the Venezuelan crisis have been already impoverished citizens

  3. Globalization affects different countries in different ways, it isn't necessarily an entirely good or bad concept

  4. The global economy is incredibly volatile, and a priority should be increasing stability


Please keep these learning goals in mind when forming solutions! They are key points we want you to address! 


Need stepping-off points to start thinking about solutions? Start at the synopsis! As you read, highlight key issues that need to be addressed as well as ways they have been addressed in the past. From here you can think critically about what has been successful and what you can reform. Additionally, the ‘Questions to Consider’ section is a GREAT way to jumpstart your solutions outline… happy writing! Our synopsis is linked here if you want to check that out now.


We know these topics can seem overwhelming at times and that it may be difficult to think of where to begin. With this in mind, we wanted to offer a few suggestions on where to start with solutions and what we think would be great points to include:

  1. Creation of frameworks to improve aid and social/humanitarian support for Venezuelan citizens
  2. Long-term structures to diversify the Venezuelan economy and reduce dependence on oil
  3. Reconsideration, expansion, or dissolution of trade deals. Maybe create new ones?
  4. Regulations regarding the practices of multinational corporations


These ideas are designed to jumpstart your thinking regarding solutions, and are not an exhaustive list. We encourage you all to brainstorm solutions that are more creative and specific, yet also realistic and achievable!

We hope this has offered a bit more clarity on the solution process, and as always, feel free to comment or reach out to ecofin72@bmun.org anytime!


Best,

Shaan

Head Chair of ECOFIN, BMUN 72

Welcome Post + Expectations

Hi Delegates! We are so excited to welcome you to BMUN 72 and the ECOFIN committee. In this committee, you will be discussion two very pressing yet often neglected topics in global economics discourse . Our first topic addresses the Venezuelan Economic Crisis . Our second topic addresses Deglobalization and Trends Towards Economic Isolationism . This blog will act as our committee’s more informal avenue for discussion and communication before the conference– and we’d love to see you interact with it! The purpose of this blog is to (1) allow you to actively engage with the content of this committee and (2) give you all the opportunity to learn about other countries’ policies before the debate actually starts. You can post comments on posts that we make and write about literally anything relevant to the topics at hand! For example, if you’ve found follow-up content or research you’d like to share, would like to discuss your country’s opinion on the topic, or have other ideas in mind, thi...

Public Speaking Tips/Content of Speaking

 Hello Delegates, I wanted to check in with you all to provide a couple of tips regarding public speaking and the content of speaking during committee.  We are all here with varying degrees of experience with MUN, but what matters the most is being able to participate during conference. One of the tips that I have with regards to public speaking would be to try and remain calm. For some of us this may be our first time in MUN and some may have been in MUN for a while, but it is important for all of you to remain calm and focused on what it is that you will talk about. We understand that it may not be easy to speak in front of others and if there may be a moment where you may need to pause. If in that situation, just remember to take a couple of deep breaths. Our job is to give you all a chance to speak, but we are also here to support you. In those cases, you will always have a chance of either restarting your speech, speak at a later time, or put a pin on it for the time bein...
