National Security Strategy

Catalog description

This course is designed to analyze the framework and non-static concepts of strategy and policy that compose national security in a globalized world. Students will examine national security issues from both U.S. and international contexts with a focus on the fluctuating world of allies, partners, adversaries, threats, and opportunities. The course will survey national security policies from select eras, regional security challenges, and both transnational and non-state actors in the international arena. The course will review hard power, soft power, and smart power approaches to contemporary challenges, and the students will benefit from an array of faculty contributors.
