95292 FOREIGN POLICY ANALYSIS GSPS-02/A 5 5 CFU CARATTERIZZANTI Scienze Politologiche e Strategiche
How can we explain foreign policy decisions? The module, which aims to provide students tools to interpret foreign policy, examines concepts and theories of Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). The module illustrates foreign policy by focusing on the decision-making process, investigating the interaction among actors and their environment, and devoting special attention to the influence of domestic factors. The module combines the analysis of theories with a comparative study of foreign policy through selected case studies (e.g., the US decisions to send troops in Vietnam in the 1960s and to invade Iraq in 2003; the Italian and German decision-making process related to the military mission in Libya in 2011, etc.).
