POLITICAL SCIENCE 437 - Europe and America

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Is this historic alliance coming to an end In light of the recent decline in transatlantic relations due to U.S. policy in Iraq, this course takes a close look at the evolution of U.S.-Europe relations, and at similarities and differences in policies and sensibilities. Students look at classic American attitudes to Europe and European attitudes to America, with a particular focus on the French experience with Americanization. Students then look at attitudes since World War II, and explore the legacy of the "cultural cold war," as they try to figure out why there are such divisions today over styles of domestic and foreign politics, and on issues such as globalization, the role of military power, and the value of international treaties. Students take particular time to look at the conflict over Iraq. (Ost)
