講義概要/Course description
This is a course on U.S. foreign policy with a specific focus on domestic factors/influence which shapes and influences U.S. foreign policy making process. Despite the popular argument of U.S. retreat and decline, U.S. still remains the world's preeminent power. However, it is difficult to deny that U.S. is increasingly becoming an “exhausted power.” The American public has become inward-looking as a result of a decade of excess intervention in the 2000s. The polarization of politics is having a negative effect on U.S. presence on the world stage. Budgetary constraint is limiting the overseas deployment of U.S. forces. The course will try to factor in the domestic constraints in foreign policy making as well as highlight the dynamics of interest group politics that shapes the foreign policy environment in the U.S.
達成目標/Course objectives
