Course Description:
This course develops a framework for understanding and explaining a nation’s foreign policy, and it surveys the foreign policies of several states during the last century individually and in comparison with other states. The major powers do not rule the world in the 21st century as they did throughout history, but they continue to exert substantial influence on virtually every critical issue, whether the nuclear weapons in North Korea; war in Afghanistan; democratization or terrorism in failing states; or world trade. For the purpose of this course, the “major” powers include both “great” powers that have permanent seats and veto power on the UN Security Council (U.S., England, France, Russia, and China) and “middle” powers that include advanced countries such as Germany and Japan. The course also analyse foreign policies of emerging countries as well as how states formulate policies to cope with current global challenges.
