U.S. Foreign Policy University of Tsukuba

Course Overview

This course provides a basic knowledge and analytical framework for understanding U.S. foreign policy since World War II. The purpose of the course is to help students develop a theoretical understanding of key issues related to U.S. foreign policy, including traditional security topics such as hegemony and the balance of power, as well as broader policy concerns such as democracy promotion, multilateralism, and non-traditional security threats. Specifically, the course examines how each administration has addressed international challenges and opportunities, focusing not only on international relations but also on the policy-making process and the linkage between foreign and domestic policy.
