American Foreign Policy: Changes, Challenges, and Global Consequences

Course by Bruce W. Jentleson (Duke University and IBEI)

  • Schedule: 19 & 20 June (10-13:00h and 14-16:00h)

In just these first few months, the Trump Administration has made unprecedented changes in American foreign policy. What are the politics underlying such changes? What do these changes mean for the US global role? What are the consequences for Europe and for other global actors and issues? What are some alternatives for the US global role? We will engage these questions drawing on readings providing a range of perspectives from both the academic and policy literatures and a mix of lectures, seminar-style discussions, and student participation.
