Description:

Staff This comparative historical study of foreign policy decision making and diplomacy among the major states from 1816 through 1945 emphasizes crisis bargaining, management, and escalation. Foreign relations of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States are covered in light of existing political science theories. Emphasis is placed on how decision making can be affected by domestic political struggles, such as those between hard liners and accommodationists, and external factors such as alliances and international norms. Comparisons are made between those crises that are peacefully settled, and those that escalate and/or get out of control. Prerequisite: POSC 232 or permission of instructor.
