17.40 American Foreign Policy: 

The mission of this course is to explain and evaluate past and present US foreign policies. What caused the US' past involvement in foreign wars and other interventions? Were the results of US policies good or bad? Would other policies have better served the US and/or the wider world? Were the beliefs that guided US policy true or false? If false, what explains these misperceptions? General theories that bear on the causes and consequences of American policy will be applied to explain and evaluate past and present policies.
