POL255 POL/255 POL 255 Week 2 Discussion/DQ Communicating National Interests {{LATEST}} Prepare: Read
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the course text. Reflect: Effective and timely communications among international actors is
essential for a peaceful and predictable international environment. History is replete with examples of both effective,
timely communications and ineffective, poorly timed communications between international actors. Effective, timely
communications enables actors to share interests, to establish constructive and collaborative relationships, and to
maintain stable and progressive foreign affairs. Ineffective, inopportune communications can result in conflict, reduce
cooperation, and increase stress and fear among international actors. International disputes, diplomatic incidents, and
even wars, have resulted from ineffective, inopportune communications. Success and failure can often be attributed to
similar or contrasting theoretical perspectives on how to conduct foreign affairs. Therefore, a more in-depth
understanding of how communications are sent, received, and interpreted is needed in order to understand global
politics. Write: In your initial post of at least 200 words, complete only the portions you are assigned: If your last name
begins with A - M, you must complete the following: Identify, from the course text readings on World War I, World War
II, and the Cold War, one example from each conflict of effective, timely communications of national interests between
international actors. Explain what factor(s) made the communications effective and timely. If your last name begins with
N - Z, you must complete the following: Identify, from the course text readings on World War I, World War II, and the
Cold War, one example from each conflict of ineffective, poorly timed communications of national interests between
international actors. Explain what factor(s) made the communications ineffective and poorly timed. Respond to
Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses must be at least 75
words each. As you reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or
arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to
analyze things in as much detail as you can. If your last name begins with A - M, respond to someone whose last name
begins with N - Z. If your last name begins with N - Z, respond to someone whose last name begins with A - M. For
example, discuss the similarities or differences between the main factors that contributed to the effectiveness and the
main factors that contributed to the ineffectiveness of the communications. Carefully review the Discussion Forum
Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
