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.
