Course descriptionThis course intends to familiarize students with theoretical approaches to the foreign policy decision-making process. The course starts with revisiting the grand IR theories (realism and liberalism) and then proceeds to critically review alternative approaches that build on factors (the individual, groups, organizations) not considered by grand theories. The course discusses such classical approaches to decision-making as analogical reasoning, bureaucratic politics, manipulation, and groupthink. In exploring these theories, the course relies on in-class situational exercises and, to a larger extent, historical cases studies (e.g. The Cuban Missile Crisis, Korean and Vietnam Wars or the Israeli Invasion of Lebanon in 1982).Learning out comesBy the end of the course students will be able to:* identify and describe theories of foreign policy analysis* be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of theories of foreign policy analysis* use these theories to explain historical events
