Students will learn to identify and consider the implications of competing domestic interests and their effects on U.S. behavior abroad as well as global and international influences on U.S. domestic politics. As part of our examination, we will discuss lobbies and interest groups, competing federal and state agendas, electoral politics, and conflicting domestic and international priorities. We will also consider international pressures, obligations, and opportunities as they affect U.S. policy-making.
