Course Description:
This class studies the general conceptual and practical issues of foreign policy and international relations from a psychological perspective. Psychology has been an underutilized subject that needs to be given a more central role in international studies. Recent years, however, are witnessing a renewed interest for psychology in the field of international relations, which can be viewed as a part of broader changes that are occurring in the discipline. Earlier research has already demonstrated that incorporating psychological knowledge can enhance our understanding of effective leadership, the decision-making processes, the impact of leaders’ personalities on foreign policy choices they make. More recent research is indicating to the significance of emotions in foreign policy choices as well as the successes or failures of their implementation. Overall, scholars agree that by paying careful attention to the psychological dimensions of international relations, we are able to broaden the scope and accuracy of political analysis
