NSEC 4444 - Washington, D.C. Power and Politics

This course introduces students to American politics through an introduction to the seat of federal power itself, Washington, DC. In content, the course focuses on international relations with an emphasis on American foreign policy. But this is not a policy course; it is a politics course. Students will study a range of foreign and domestic policy decisions, some historical, most contemporary, and in doing so will emerge with a deeper understanding of how such decisions are made. 3 credits
