This course examines the foreign policies of great powers
and their consequences for international order. It
analyzes how great powers have used military and
diplomatic tools in the international arena and
how these tools have affected international rules,
institutions, and norms. The course
focuses on the strategies of the USA, Britain, and
Germany since the 19th century and traces
the development of international orders -from the failed
attempts of Concert of Europe and the League
of Nations to the Cold War order. It
considers the foreign policies of current and rising powers,
such as the EU, China, and the USA,
and if in the post-9/11 era the policies of these states
will produce a different order.
