POS 4010 - US Foreign Policy

3 cr

This course will be an analysis of US foreign policy in terms of its historical, and theoretical roots; the institutional policy-making structure; domestic and international influences on policy-making; and enduring and emerging issues. There will be particular emphasis on the impact on US foreign policy of the end of the Cold War, and globalization. The class will consider questions, such as: Is there a “new world order” developing in the twenty-first century? What will be, or should be, the role of the US in this order? What are likely to be the major US foreign policy issues of the next several decades? How will the evolution of the role of international institutions affect US foreign policy goals and strategies?
