U.S. Foreign Policy

Catalog description

Students in this course will review the principal schools of thought and values that have governed U.S. foreign policy and learn the fundamentals of the policymaking process, including the role of Congress and the bureaucracy. They will place U.S. foreign relationships in a global context by analyzing the interaction of state and non-state actors, and evaluating aspects of the U.S. foreign policy establishment that focus on transnational safety and security issues. Students will develop social science research capabilities, weighing biblical imperatives with U.S. national interests.
