In the wake of the strategic shocks of the Ukraine crisis, Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President, Germany has found itself as the de facto leader of Europe and the central European player in the transatlantic relationship. This course will examine the sources of German leadership, its limitations and strengths, the foreign policy process and its policies in a number of key areas including managing the Eurozone and trade policy, and relations with France, Poland, Russia, Turkey, China and the United States. Students will combine reading, case studies, lectures and class discussions and will write a policy oriented paper on one of Germany's key bilateral relationships. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
