POLI 264 - The Foreign Policy of the United States

1 unit(s)

This course examines the formulation and execution of U.S. foreign policy. We consider factors ranging from America’s geostrategic position to its economy, ideology and culture, as well as governmental institutions and those who serve in them. The course also examines prominent issues in contemporary U.S. foreign policy. Such issues may include trade policy, non-proliferation and counter-proliferation, counter-terrorism, human rights, and immigration, in addition to policies with respect to particular countries (e.g., Russia, China, North Korea) and regions. Our primary purpose is to identify and assess the various options possessed by the United States for addressing these issues. Stephen Rock.
