Kommentar
This seminar investigates the chronological development of U.S. foreign relations from the Spanish-American War, in 1898, to the present. The purpose of the course it to assess changes and continuities in the United States' position in and relationship with the world, i.e. other states, nations, regions, and people. To this end, we shall look both at traditional questions posed by diplomatic historians (who is when why where and how long in power and what causes a state's demise or decline?) as well as as novel approaches to the study of foreign relations including gender, race, culture, ideology, the role of NGOs etc. The seminar forms the follow-up to the undergraduate course on U.S. foreign relations (Modul A), taught in the winter term of 2013-14, but participation in the former is no requirement for participation in the latter. To prepare for the class, students should purchase the following volume: Dennis Merrill & Thomas Paterson, Major Problems in American Foreign Relations, vol. 2: Since 1914, 7th ed. (Boston: Wadsworth Cengage Learning 2010, 2012). To fulfill the requirements for the class ("pass"), students should participate regularly in class (no more than 2 no-shows), read and discuss actively all texts and submit questions in writing, work in groups, write several response papers, and lead at least 1-2 discussions in class.
