Course Description Like any state, the United States formulates its foreign policy based on its interests. Yet the process of formulating these interests can be confusing, opaque, and messy. By looking at U.S. Foreign Policy from an historical and thematic perspective, this course seeks to demystify why the United States acts as it does abroad. From its foundations as an independent country free from British clientelism to its rise into a global player in the early 20th century and a veritable colossus by 1945, the United States has shaped world affairs in a profound way and, despite the emergence of a more multipolar world, will continue to play an important role. The course is divided into three parts. The first part covers the broad historical periods of U.S. Foreign Policy. The second part explains how policy is made. The third looks at how foreign policies on a regional and global level.
