Description

Subject Area: International Relations
This course can also be studied in the following specialisations: Politics

ARTS3783 examines the foreign policies of a number of great and emerging powers, including the United States, China, India, Britain and France from 1945 to the present. In doing so, it focuses on the problems, threats and challenges that confronted these powers during the Cold War and in the period following the collapse of the old bipolar system; it assesses how these powers perceived these problems, threats and challenges, how they reacted to them and what policies they put in place to offset them. In addition, ARTS3783 analyses the geopolitical, military, economic and domestic constraints under which these powers acted and considers the economic and military capabilities they relied on in pursuance of their foreign policy objectives.
