Michael Merlingen Full description:
Foreign policy analysis is an important component of the academic discipline of International Relations. The practice of foreign policy is a key political activity of nearly all states. Foreign policy actions and discourses both shape and reflect the structure of world politics. This course will look at the production of foreign policy, its actors, the policy process, policy instruments and policy contexts. The political, economic, institutional, social and psychological/psychoanalytical dimensions of foreign policy will be examined. We shall cover both theoretical approaches and particular issue-areas and cases.
