Course organisation<br />
• The course is organized in two parts:<br />
• A first part is theory- and issue-oriented and introduces<br />
key issues in the analysis of foreign policy: agency versus<br />
structure in foreign policy making, what is the ‘national<br />
interest’? the foreign policy making process and the ‘art of<br />
muddling through’, whether or not decision making is<br />
rational, the influence of cultural factors, does the<br />
domestic political context and type of regime matter, and<br />
the ethics of foreign policy<br />
• A second part looks at the contemporary foreign policies<br />
of selected states.
