As the United States faces a deepening set of international complexities, the challenge for the nation is to construct a coherent and effective foreign policy to deal with these challenges. To evaluate a framework for the future, the course begins with an examination of the experience of American foreign policy in the post-World War II period and then turns to consider the sources of the American foreign policy including the international system, societal factors, government processes, and individual decision makers. With this base established, the majors issues of American foreign policy are considered including military security and economic policy. The course concludes with an examination of the challenges and opportunities that face US decision makers in the near future. A significant component of the course is the intensive discussion of key foreign policy decisions.
