U.S. National Security Strategy and Emerging Threats

This course reviews the principles and processes of U.S. national security planning, examines the arms control approaches of recent administrations, analyzes the current global security environment, and proposes new arms control and defense approaches for the new century. It is designed to teach students how to think both realistically and creatively about U.S. national security strategy and the associated arms control processes in the post-Cold War world, as well as to assess the challenges of emerging strategic threats and the adequacy of contemporary arms control processes and U.S. defense safeguards to meet these challenges.

Economic Statecraft and Conflict

In most international affairs curricula, economics is taught with a principal focus on trade, economic development, foreign aid, and international finance. What is frequently missing is that dimension of economics which concerns national security policy. This course covers that dimension.
