ICAE 360 - Ethics & Power:Contemporary Diplomatic

Institution:

Trinity Washington University

Subject:

Description:

Addresses the ethical issues facing states and policy makers in the contemporary period. Since the beginning of the 20th century, United States policy makers have sought to balance two competing paradigms in the establishment of the nation's approach to global affairs: idealism and realism. These two themes in foreign policy remain in tension. The purpose of this course is, first, to examine case studies in contemporary history when the nation's leaders needed to establish an effective integration of realism and idealism in response to complex international issues. Knowledge of the patterns emerging from these studies, in turn, will provide a basis for a critical appraisal of current, pressing issues on the international agenda in which ethical considerations figure prominently.
