Overview A survey and critique of US foreign policy from “Berlin to Bagdad” for advanced undergraduate majors in Political Science and International Relations. The course begins with an overview of competing world views, such as realism, pluralism, and constructivist perspectives. After exploring these world views, the focus turns to the challenges of decision-making from the perspective of the practitioner who must deal with problems of individual choice, small groups, bureaucratic politics, organizational constraints, and public opinion in the conduct of foreign policy. Case studies, role-playing simulations, and videos are used to provide first-hand experience in policy decision-making in the United States.Offered in the Spring 2012 Semester starting on Wednesday 18 January in 202 HOL from 12:45 to 2:05 PM by Matt Bonham.
