UMBR HSAP 382 - Amer Foreign Policy with Europe s WWII

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

Students studying abroad often have a heightened awareness of the conduct of their own nation in the region they are temporarily living and studying. Headline news and questions about that conduct from local citizens often become topics of conversation with those of the host country. This is a one semester course on the history of American foreign policy from 1945 to the present which is designed in a way to enable that conversation and to equip students studying abroad with the information and analytical tools to do so. Focus will be on US/European relations with a special emphasis on relations between the US and Italy. Its objective is to foster an understanding of the ways in which the US has protected its interests and promoted its values in its selective engagement with the rest of the world. By exploring three paradigms of engagement over time (Realist, Nationalist and Radical) students will have a better understanding of what may lay behind the range of behavior in America's dealing with the rest of the world.
