Abstract
In this concluding chapter, we provide a concise review of all chapters in this volume and reflect on the ways in which simulations of decision-making in political science are given shape and are tested on their effects with respect to the participant’s learning. We also present some conclusive findings based on the different chapters as well as some perspectives for both future practice and future research in this field.
