POL SCI 788 / From Ottawa to Washington and Beyond: Critical Perspectives on Foreign Policy

3 unit(s)

L. Wylie

In this seminar course students will consider major theoretical approaches and concepts involved in the analysis of foreign policy, focusing most heavily on critical approaches to the study of foreign policy in Canada and the United States. We will also study the interplay between the fields of International Relations and Foreign Policy, thinking through some of the key themes and issues in the current literature. The course content will be primarily theoretical, but students will be expected to apply theories to relevant foreign policy cases.
