This is a course about foreign policy analysis in one of the most dynamic, fluid and conflict-prone regions of the world. From China's challenge in the South China Sea to the threat of radical Islamic terrorism to the perturbations of emerging markets, U.S. foreign policy faces diverse political, economic, trade and security issues in Southeast Asia. "American Foreign Policy in Southeast Asia" analyzes the U.S. policy making process, investigates the key players in the region and beyond, and assesses the instruments of hard and soft power employed by the U.S. in implementing policy. Students will also have the opportunity to collaborate in planning and writing a Southeast Asia policy for the new U.S. administration. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
