DepSem:Transatlantic Relations

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This Departmental Seminar is designed for Government majors and SFS students in International Politics, as well as others with interest in the subject. We will examine interactions with the major European powers, relationships with the European Union and NATO, economic issues, disputes about globalization and “global governance,” relations with emerging regional powers, migration and cultural controversies, differences over out-of-area issues including the Middle East, anti-Americanism, America’s ability to lead, and the future of the transatlantic region. By the end of the semester, you should have a broad grasp not only of the U.S.-European dynamic in its multiple dimensions, but of the wider global context involving the major western countries and emerging regional powers.
