The course examines how Russia’s domestic discourses on national identity, including beliefs about the self and the world and interpretations of historic legacies, have influenced foreign policy since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Drawing on international relations theory and on discourse analysis, the course explores the role of domestic narratives in shaping international behavior to enhance our understanding of how and when major foreign policy shifts take place. Recommended for EES Comp IIIb RES subfields 4 and 6. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
