DIPL 2110 AA/AB Comparative Foreign Policy

This course is an introduction to theories of foreign policy analysis and a survey of the foreign policy of major states. The first part of the course examines alternative theoretical approaches to the study of foreign policy. These conceptual models are then applied to a series of seminal events, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The second part of the course examines the foreign policy trajectories of several important States and explores critical foreign policy dilemmas through two in-class simulations.
