本课程探讨了1898年以来美国外交政策的原因和后果。课程阅读包括实质性和方法主题。本文讨论了四个实质性课题: 美国外交政策的主要理论;美国外交政策史上的主要事件和历史上对它们的解释性争议;对过去主要美国外国警察的评价--他们的结果是好是坏？和当前的政策争议, 包括评估拟议政策的手段。讨论了三种方法: 基本的社会科学推理--什么是理论？什么是好的理论？理论应该如何框架和检验？历史调查方法, 包括档案研究, 最重要的是案例研究方法。课程中涵盖的历史剧集被用作案例研究的原材料, 询问 "这些剧集是否为案例研究的主题, 应如何进行这些研究, 以及可以从这些研究中学到什么？"

| 课程简介: |
This course examines the causes and consequences of American foreign policy since 1898. Course readings cover both substantive and methods topics. Four substantive topics are covered: major theories of American foreign policy; major episodes in the history of American foreign policy and historical/interpretive controversies about them; the evaluation of major past American foreign policies--were their results good or bad? and current policy controversies, including means of evaluating proposed policies. Three methods topics are covered: basic social scientific inference--what are theories? what are good theories? how should theories be framed and tested? historical investigative methodology, including archival research, and, most importantly, case study methodology. Historical episodes covered in the course are used as raw material for case studies, asking "if these episodes were the subject of case studies, how should those studies be performed, and what could be learned from them?"
