HENK0361FU Engelsk - Frit emne: Turning up the Power

Cuba, Vietnam, Iran, Lebanon, Grenada, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. This course explores American foreign policy decision making since the early Sixties. It examines theories of foreign policy decision making, where the roles of presidents, administrations, rationality and intentionality are interrogated critically as decisions are forged. Then, through studies of foreign policy, the seminars will focus thematically on aspects ofU.S.relations since the Sixties; the period which arguably provides the perspective in which American foreign policy decision making is made today. Bringing the course fully into the present, seminars will also focus on current foreign policy decision dilemmas facing the Obama administration.
