HIST 388 - Strategic Thinking in Global Affairs

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

(Same as POLI 388 ) This seminar explores strategic thinking to attain large ends with limited means. We examine a historical set of instances in which individuals, groups, and/or nations have attempted to harness political, military, diplomatic, economic, environmental, legal, and scientific resources to advance national and global interests. Because strategic thinking requires the art of reconciling ends and means, we also examine how a range of people and groups with various levels of power balance what they think and want with the constraints that they face. Elizabeth Bradley and Robert Brigham.

Prerequisite(s): Permission of the instructor.
