MIR 525 Foreign Policy Analysis examines how political leaders craft foreign policy through
foreign policy analysis (FPA), which utilizes different theoretical frameworks and research
strategies. In particular, this course explores FPA in different countries and regions, such as
North America, the European Union, the Arab World, African States, Latin America, China,
India, and Japan. This course emphasizes human decision-makers, and accordingly, FPA is
grounded in agent-oriented theory. (Formerly MIR 525 Foreign Policy in World Politics)
