                Please read the syllabus carefully for I have given great thought to the development of this course.

 

 

OBJECTIVES

 

 

                The purpose of the course is to provide the foundation to allow you to arrive at a strong understanding of the complex politics of U.S. foreign policy.  This is to be accomplished:  1) by providing you with a broad and intensive survey of information and knowledge of the foreign policy process of the United States, 2) by familiarizing you with different sources and interpretations of U.S. foreign policy, 3) by providing important context and improve your ability to analyze, synthesize, and communicate, and 4) by relating the course material to the contemporary politics of U.S. foreign policy.  The course should broaden and deepen your substantive and historical knowledge of U.S. foreign policy.  In addition, the course should improve your general learning potential and level of professional competence.  It is hoped that by the end of the semester you will find the course to be informative, interesting and enjoyable.

 

 

REQUIREMENTS

 

 

                Students are expected to engage in a considerable amount of reading and will be evaluated through class participation, written papers, and a (optional) final examination.  The intent behind these requirements is to have you study and think about the course material throughout the semester--to provide you with numerous opportunities to demonstrate the knowledge you have acquired and to get feedback--in order to maximize your ability to learn and grow as a student.

 

                1. Direct Participation (10%).  In order to get the most out of class, you must be prepared when you come to class.  Students are required to complete the readings prior to class meetings and to come to class ready to discuss them.  You are also expected to keep abreast of current international issues. I expect everyone to participate actively in the discussion of the day.

                You may also be asked to complete very short exercises, usually written, in class and out of class revolving around communicating an understanding of the readings.  SHOULD YOU MISS A CLASS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LEARNING WHAT WENT ON IN CLASS FROM YOUR CLASSMATES.

 

                2. Three Writing Assignments (30% each). There will be three writing opportunities during the semester.  The three writing assignments consist of: i) a legislative history and political analysis paper, ii) a public opinion and comparative analysis paper, and iii) a case study and political analysis paper.  All assignments are to be completed on time and well-written.  Grades for late assignments will be lowered by their tardiness.  Further information about the written essays will be provided at a future time. 

 

                3. Final Examination (optional).  The final will consist of essays and will be cumulative, focusing on the general points and major concepts/questions addressed in the readings and in class.  Your essays should demonstrate your mastery and thoughtful consideration of the material, and should explicitly discuss and integrate the readings.  You will receive a study guide in advance of the examination to help you prepare. 

 

                Late assignments.  If you cannot fulfill a requirement by the due date, I (or the GINT office, 7-7686) MUST BE CONTACTED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE DUE DATE and provided a legitimate explanation (e.g., medical illness).  Assignments which are allowed to be completed after the due date will be expected to meet higher standards given the additional time granted.

 

GRADES

 

 

                Your grade will be based, not on how well you do compared to others in the class, but on the quality of substantive knowledge, quality of analysis, and effective communication demonstrated--in other words, the level of understanding demonstrated.  An A represents "excellence"; a B+ represents "very good"; a B represents "good".  Grades below B indicate that the level of work in the course is below the level expected of graduate students.  Therefore, you should work together and help each other out.

 

 

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY

 

 

                The class will be structured around what I call a class dialogue in which information, knowledge, and thought will be generated through lecture/background, discussion, and the Socratic method.  I will often play the role of provocateur and advocate to stimulate participation.  The class dialogue emphasizes the importance of student participation and ACTIVE LEARNING as a means to improve one's skills, interest, information, knowledge, and, ultimately, understanding.  In essence, class discussions will consist of an active exchange between the student and professor.  When deemed necessary, background will be provided for some of the more difficult material and to provide appropriate context.

 

                The class is organized around the required readings.  I expect every student to come to class prepared and  ready to participate.  Every student should be able to summarize and analyze each assigned reading and place it in perspective relative to the rest of the course material by addressing the following questions: 

                1. What is the author's purpose?

                2. What is the basic theme(s) or argument(s) of the reading?

3. What are the most important historical events, information, concepts, etc., discussed in the reading?

4. How does this reading relate to the other readings, the central themes of the course, and contemporary politics?

5. How powerful or weak is the argument and the evidence?  Why? 

Students also are encouraged to offer comments or questions which contribute to class discussions on a regular basis.

 

 

NATURE OF THE COURSE

 

 

                One ultimate purpose of higher education and the offering of this course is to broaden your knowledge and understanding about the world around you--to learn about things that you probably don't know much about and to think about things that you haven't given much thought to.  At the same time, I recognize that many individuals hold strong beliefs and feelings about the United States, often based more on faith and emotion rather than substantive knowledge.  Therefore, much of the material in this course may be controversial and will challenge you to think about many beliefs and assumptions you hold (and have rarely examined).

 

                Your role is to act as student, social scientist, or policy analyst, not policymaker, activist, or true believer.  Remember, our goal is to better understand reality--in this case the history and contemporary practice of U.S. foreign policy--regardless of what your feelings and opinions are about that reality.  Learning and understanding are to be accomplished through the accumulation of information and knowledge and reliance on an open and critical mind.

 

                Hopefully, this course will increase your knowledge by having you acquire:

                   i) lots of information,

                   ii) appreciate the complexity and contradictions of political reality,

                   iii) recognize patterns and make generalizations supported by evidence, and

                   iv) recognize and think about different views (including my view which I will provide).

These are the building blocks to knowledge and understanding.

 

 

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

 

 

                Jerel Rosati is a Professor of political science and international studies and has been a member of the Department of Political Science (formerly Department of  Government & International Studies) at Carolina since 1982.  His intellectual interests range from American politics and history, United States foreign policy, the Vietnam War and the sixties to the dynamics of world politics and global change, the nature of human interaction, and political psychology.  His area of specialization is the theory and practice of foreign policy, focusing on the United States policymaking process, decision-making theory, and the political psychological study of human cognition.  He has been awarded the Outstanding Professor of the Year in the Humanities and Social Sciences by the South Carolina (Honors) College, the Outstanding Teacher in International Studies in the Department of Government & International Studies, Excellence in Teaching by the University of South Carolina Alpha Chapter of the Mortar Board Honor Society, and Outstanding Teacher in Political Science by the American Political Science Association and Pi Sigma Alpha (The National Political Science Honor Society).  In addition to the usual undergraduate and graduate students, he has also been awarded, and participated in, a number of instructional grants at the state and federal level (usually through the U.S. Department of State) as Academic Director, Field Director, and/or Project Director where he has taught students and scholars from all over the world, including Bulgarians, Chinese, Israelis and Palestinians, Somalis, Master’s of International Business students, and high school teachers. In 2002 he was the Program Director and Academic Director of a U.S. Department of State Fulbright American Studies Institute on U.S. Foreign Policy for 18 scholars-practitioners from all over the world (which was renewed in 2003).  He has been a Visiting Professor at Somalia National University in Mogadishu and Visiting Scholar at China’s Foreign Affairs College in Beijing. He is the author of over forty articles and chapters, as well as five books including The Carter Administration's Quest for Global Community: Beliefs and Their Impact on Behavior, The Politics of United States Foreign Policy (3rd edition and translated in Mandarin Chinese), The Power of Human Needs in World Society, Foreign Policy Restructuring: How Governments Respond to Global Change, and Readings in the Politics of U.S. Foreign Policy.  He also has been a Research Associate in the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division of the Library of Congress's Congressional Research Service, President of the International Studies Association's Foreign Policy Analysis Section, and President of the Southern region of the International Studies Association.  He is happily married and the father of three children (and a fourth step-daughter, one cat, and one dog) and enjoys travel, athletics, music, reading, good company, and relaxing.  He came of age during the early seventies as an undergraduate at U.C.L.A when the events surrounding the Vietnam War and Watergate reached a crescendo, which had a profound impact on his intellectual and personal development to the present day.

READINGS

 

 

                The course revolves around the readings--a large, diverse, kaleidoscopic set of readings.  Together, the readings below reflect different genres, provide different perspectives and interpretations, and come from a variety of sources.  Some of the readings are more scholarly; others are more policy-oriented; and others are more intellectual and journalistic in their orientation.  Some are long; some are short.  Some are classics; others are more contemporary pieces.  A mix of a large number of readings maximizes the acquisition of information, knowledge, and understanding of the politics of United States foreign policy and will hopefully increase interest and readability.

You should also try to familiarize yourself with the litany of magazines and journals which present a host of intellectual, opinion, and policy positions.  Such journals can be found in the Thomas Cooper Library, the Richland County Public Library on Assembly Street, and bookstores like Barnes and Noble. 

 

                Suggested media sources, predominantly American, for following contemporary affairs.  All the sources below can also be found on the web.  Remember, this is just a recommended sampling of media sources.  There are plenty more American media sources, and lots of quality sources beyond the United States–which is particularly important for becoming informed about world politics.  [pp. 524-527 in Rosati’s The Politics of United States Foreign Policy has a list of websites]

BACKGROUND AND KEY THEMES

 

 

                The foreign policy of the United States has experienced important continuities and changes over time. By the twentieth century the United States had become increasingly a global power. Following World War II and with the rise of the cold war, United States foreign policy during the fifties and sixties revolved around the containment of Soviet and communist expansion throughout the world. The cold war years were also a time when the power of the presidency was preeminent in the making of U.S. foreign policy. Yet, over the last thirty years numerous developments have occurred throughout the world and American society that have affected the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. Events such as the Vietnam War, Watergate and the collapse of the Bretton Woods system challenged America’s postwar containment policy and presidential power. The end of the cold war and increasing global security threats have opened up new opportunities and constraints for both U.S. foreign policy and presidential power.

                More specifically, students will examine, discuss, debate, and gain practical insights into the history and contemporary formulation of U.S. foreign policy. Five central themes or questions are addressed throughout the class:

                1) To what extent is the President able to govern and run U.S. foreign policy, especially national security and foreign economic issues?

2) What have been the dominant patterns of continuity and change in the making of U.S. foreign policy over time, including the role of the government and domestic institutions? In other words, how is U.S. foreign policy really made?

3)How have the tensions between the demands of national security and democracy evolved?

4) What are the implications of the end of the cold war and the September 11th bombing for the future making of U.S. foreign policy into the twenty-first century?

5) What are the major interpretations or perspectives, as well as different sources of information and scholarship, that exist within the United States?
