Kommentar
In this seminar, we will investigate concepts and notions of U.S. national security and their impact on U.S. foreign relations after World War II.
The notion of security has since undergone revisions and additions - encompassing today also economic, ecological, humanitarian and social aspects. In this course we will survey major scholarship and polic debates and connect them with selected policy cases. We will also explore how security paradigms evolved over the course of the past decades, during and after the cold war as well as after 9/11.
As the title of the seminar suggests, security, defense and strategy will be analysed by discussing concepts, institutions and policy choices and by taking the psychological side of security and defense into account. Topics include: How do the US perceive national and international securioty? How have threat perception and power projection changed over time? How do sentiments and perceptions shape security policies? Which security scenarios are in the public eye and how are they constructed? With the help of pertinent case studies both, structures and processes in the conduction of security policies will be demonstrated. Students will write policy briefs and recommendations.
