The purpose of this course is you to the main theories and concepts in the subfield of FPA. The course is designed to help you understand the complex process of foreign policy decision making, the domestic and international factors that shape state leaders’ and their advisors’ decisions on global affairs.
Foreign policy is defined as “the sum of official external relations conducted by an independent actor (usually a state) in international relations.” The study of such relations is commonly referred to as foreign policy analysis (FPA). This class will provide you with an overview of key theories and concepts in FPA as a subfield of international relations (IR). These concepts and theories are applied to foreign policy case studies such as the US-China trade war, North Korea’s nuclear crisis, global climate politics, or humanitarian intervention. The aim is to understand the dynamics of change in state behavior in global politics. Questions discussed in this class include: 1) What is the role of political leaders in foreign policy? 2) What role does the bureaucracy, the media, think tanks, and interest groups play in setting foreign policy agendas? 3) How has foreign policy making changed in times of globalization, information technology and close social and cultural exchange between states?
| 1 | Introduction: What is foreign policy (analysis) and why does it matter today? |
| 2 | Movie & discussion: The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (by Errol Morris, 2003) |
| 3 | Theory & approaches (1): Realism, liberalism and foreign policy |
| 4 | Theory & approaches (2): Constructivism, post-structuralism and foreign policy |
| 5 | Actors and structures in foreign policy decision-making Case study: The role of AI, experts and think tanks |
| 6 | Grand strategy and national security Case study: The European Union as a foreign policy actor |
| 7 | Economic statecraft and the politics of sanctions Case study: The politics of the North Korean nuclear crisis |
| 8 | Public, cultural diplomacy and strategic communication |
| 9 | The role of media, public opinion, and civil society |
| 10 | Case study (1): The Cuban missile crisis |
| 11 | Case study (2): The War on Terror and the US-led invasion of Iraq |
| 12 | Case study (3): Global climate change and the making of the Paris Agreement |
