The Iron Triangle Simulation

In this role-play exercise, students will take on contemporary public policy issues and experience the challenges of balancing the needs and wants of public administrators, public opinion, lobbyists, legislatures, and presidential pressure when attempting to address the issues. With each of the issues identified in this simulation, create a list of the conflicting values anticipated from each force within the triangle and identify the reasons why.
