Public Diplomacy and Political Warfare

The purpose of this course is to study the theories and practices of public diplomacy and political warfare as instruments of statecraft, with an emphasis on psychological strategy. Using specific historical and current examples, as well as primary-source materials, the course stresses the development of the national security professional's practical applications of public diplomacy and political warfare as complementary, everyday tools in real-world policymaking.
