The Strategic Perspective in International Relations
Laura Scudder Conference Room, Roosevelt Hall 121
This workshop is designed to introduce the central concepts and methods for studying international relations and foreign policy. It emphasizes a strategic perspective that draws attention to how incentives, political institutions and domestic politics shape interactions in the international arena whether those interactions concern cooperation or conflict. The workshop introduces a set of analytic tools that will help provide a means to evaluate points of view regarding foreign affairs based on logic and evidence rather than personal opinion or partisan preferences. The course will assume a general comfort with abstract reasoning.
