American Foreign Policy (3007PPP)
From the "war on terror" to the choice by the US government not to sign various international agreements American foreign policy is keenly felt around the globe. This course aims to provide students with a deeper understanding of the traditions, institutions and actors that guide US foreign policy. One of the key starting points for analysis will be that American politics is often more wrought with internal conflicts and debates than is widely acknowledged. Once various foreign policy traditions and historical legacies have been overviewed and the main institutions have been examined the course will move to discuss a number of contemporary issues such as humanitarian intervention and anti-Americanism. US relations with the UN, Israel, the Arab world, Europe and Asia will also be explored. Finally the course will examine radical critiques of US foreign policy from authors such as Chomsky and Pilger
