Political topics and modules
Sound familiar?
01
Political topics require deep sourcing
LD, PF, and World Schools increasingly feature geopolitical resolutions where sourcing really matters. General web searches return opinion pieces — not the primary sources that win rounds.
02
You need both sides, fast
Prep time is short. Knowing the strongest version of the opposing case — including the real policy arguments foreign governments make — is the difference between winning and losing a close round.
03
Generic AI can't argue international topics credibly
ChatGPT doesn't know what the G77 actually argues at climate negotiations, what India's position on nuclear non-proliferation actually is, or what the humanitarian law framework actually says.
What you get.
Cited research from primary sources
Atlas pulls from UN documents, government policy records, and verified geopolitical databases. Every claim is traceable — the kind of evidence that wins rounds.
Both-sides argument mapping
Ask Atlas to surface the strongest arguments for and against any international position. See what real governments and institutions actually argue, not what blogs speculate.
AI opponents that argue real positions
Practice rounds against AI that defends actual country positions. It pushes back on unsupported claims and introduces counterarguments you haven't considered.
Country and bloc position research
Understand what the US, China, EU, African Union, or G77 actually argue on any issue — with sources. Essential for international and geopolitical resolutions.
Courses on international relations and diplomacy
Build foundational knowledge on how international law works, what drives state behavior, and how multilateral negotiations operate — context that makes your arguments more credible.
Fast enough for tournament prep
Research a topic and map out arguments in minutes, not hours. Exactly what you need the night before a tournament.
Common questions.
Does it work for Public Forum topics that aren't about diplomacy?
Model Diplomat is strongest on international affairs, geopolitics, and foreign policy topics. For purely domestic policy resolutions, the coverage is more limited — though it works well for the international angle of any resolution.
Can it help me prep for both sides of a resolution?
Yes. Ask Atlas to map out the strongest pro and con arguments on any international topic, referencing what real governments and institutions actually argue.
Is it useful for World Schools Debate?
Very much so. World Schools motions often feature international law, foreign policy, and geopolitical topics where deep, sourced research is a major advantage.
How is it different from just using Perplexity?
Model Diplomat's knowledge base is curated specifically for political and diplomatic topics — not the general web. The sources are verified, the country positions are structured, and there are learning tools built around this domain specifically.
Better research. Stronger cases.
