Bush. And many neoconservatives have regarded the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as noble experiments in democracy-building that the United States so successfully accomplished in Germany and Japan after World War II. In tracing the effects of Americas multiple political traditions on its foreign policies at home and in analyzing how Americas civilizational imperium encounters the other abroad, this course disagrees with both views. Neo-conservatism is not a freak show but draws on and adds to Americas multiple political traditions. And the Iraq and Afghan wars are not noble experiments but foreign policy fiascos fraught with enormous risks and costs. The first half of the course argues that at home America is distinguished by multiple traditions and identities that find expression in its foreign policies. It thus challenges two oversimplifications: in liberal America political divisions stop at the waters edge; and the main fault line on issues of foreign policy have divided realist-nationalists from liberal-internationalists. These are very partial views. They disregard multiple intersections of ideology, class, religion and race that shape American politics and foreign policy. They fail to accord proper weight to the pivotal role of the South in the political coalitions that have shaped American foreign policy in the last half-century. And they do not recognize the specificity of American politics and foreign policy. The United States is a state on steroids, or imperium. And America is a nation on stilts, or civilization. The limits of a militarized foreign policy and its enormous power are in plain sight in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the importance of Americas good will and the soft power it often generates abroad is often overlooked. The second half of the course inquires into how the United States has engaged different regions of the world. During the Cold War the United States was able to contain the Soviet Union because of its successful incorporation into an anti-Communist alliance of two former enemies turned supporter-states, Germany and Japan. Defeated, occupied and subsequently persuaded, both Germany and Japan became civilian powers and strong allies of the United States. In some ways they have become the model for a foreign policy success that the U.S. has sought to emulate for the last generation. With the Cold War receding into history, Americas engagement of different world regions is occurring on different terms than those of unquestioned primacy rooted in total victory. Europe, Russia, North America, Latin America, China, Japan, India and the Middle East all provide different terrain for this engagement. U.S. hard power and Americas soft power find expression in far-reaching processes of Americanization that reverberate also inside the United States and America. The intellectual hinge that connects the two parts of the course is the idea of multiplicity of traditions and values motivating American politics and of hard and soft forms of power that shape and are reflected in its

foreign policies. When the multiple gears that connect America with the world mesh properly, mutual engagements are possible that preserve both diversity in values within a loosely shared sense of moral purpose and international order. When those gears do not mesh properly, mutual engagements are likely to feed misunderstandings and conflicts of interests that can lead to war. The levers that match or mismatch these gears are operated by different actors: governments in Washington D.C and other national capitals, military leaders directing the security apparatus of the U.S., corporate executives shaping and reacting to global markets, NGOs and individuals meeting in the world of virtual chat rooms or organizing in the back-alleys of far-flung places. Advocates of one-size-fit-all solutions to a variegated world politics are in for disappointments. Lectures and Sections: Classes will be a mixture of two weekly lectures and one discussion group. (Lecture notes will be placed on Blackboard, normally by Sunday evening for the coming week and at the latest early in the morning of the day class is being held. Please print them out and take notes in the margins. This way you will be able to listen more carefully and write less). Each lecture class will start with a discussion of current news, which we will seek to analyze in terms of the arguments we are grappling with in this course. If you have not made the reading of the daily press part of your routine, this course is your chance! The best single source of news for this course, and for international affairs more generally, is The Financial Times, available in electronic and paper form. It covers world affairs from a less U.S.centered perspective than do the major US newspapers -- such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, and the Ithaca Journal or Cornell Sun. Reading Assignments: This course relies on one text. I have placed orders with the Campus Store: Bruce W. Jentleson, American Foreign Policy: The Dynamics of Choice in the 21st Century, 4th ed. (New York: Norton, 2010) [Paperback]. Those who are lacking historical background of the kind that Government 1817 provided should read in the first week of class Jentleson, chps. 4, 5 and 7. Without some historical context much of this course material will not make much sense to you. The other course readings are available either on websites noted in the syllabus or in pdf format on the Government 385 Blackboard site. Discussion sections will give you an opportunity to explore particular arguments made in lecture or in the readings and to engage various policy readings assigned throughout the semester. Students are expected to do the assigned readings before class. Unless you read the material before class you will not be able to participate actively in discussions. Paper: Each student is expected to write a 10-12 page paper on one of the following three pairs of articles. You should scan all six articles before settling on your favorite pair. The paper will give you an opportunity to draw on the concepts and information you have acquired in this course, to give a brief accurate summary of the main points of each article, to offer a thoughtful appraisal (in which you can choose to agree or disagree), and to come to your own reasoned conclusion on a number of important issues of contemporary American foreign policy and world politics. Since this is not a research paper, there is no need for any additional reading beyond those assigned for this course. Writing the paper will be a way for you to begin studying for the final examination.

An initial 2-3 page abstract of your papers main point is due with your TA at class time on October 20 th (hard copy and electronic version). An intermediary draft of 5-7 pages is due with your TA by class time on November 10th (hard copy and electronic version). If you miss these deadlines, your TA will take this fact into account in assigning the final grade for the paper. In the hope of helping you learn from each other and sharpen your own perspectives, we will devote one full class [24] on November 22 to an open-ended discussion of these three pairs of articles. The final paper is due on December 2nd at noon time (one hard copy and an email with an electronic version sent to your TA). Late final papers must be turned in to a staff member of the Government Department (White Hall, 2nd floor), and the time at which you turn the paper in should be recorded by that staff member on the front page of the paper. The time of submission will be clocked when you are sending the electronic version. Late papers will be graded down by one grade for every 24 hours the paper is late (for example from an A- to a B+). Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. This means that any written work you submit in this course will be your own. The Code of Academic Integrity and Acknowledging the Work of Others is found in the Policy Notebook for the Cornell Community and also on the web at http://theuniversityfaculty.cornell.edu/pdfs/AIAckWorkRev90620.pdf An additional document you may want to consult is posted at http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/AIC.html. A Cornell tutorial called Recognizing and Avoiding Plagiarism can be found at http://plagiarism.arts.cornell.edu/tutorial/index.cfm. If you are in any doubt about how to cite material that you wish to use please consult your TA. The electronic version will be run through a special software program that verifies the originality and authenticity of your work. Grading: Your grade in this course is based on your regular attendance and active participation in section (20%), on your performance in an in-class mid-term (20%) and final examination (40%), and on your 1012 page paper (20%). A substantial part of the final examination will be based on a Reading Period assignment. I will of course accept a physicians report as a legitimate reason for seeking to reschedule an examination or missing a paper deadline. Incompletes will be given only because of circumstances beyond the student's control, such as serious illness or family emergencies. (A non-refundable airline ticket does

not constitute a circumstance beyond the students control). You may appeal any of your exam or paper grades only after you have handed the TA a two-page, doublespaced, neatly typed memorandum that explains why you think that you have been treated unfairly. To end on a positive note. This is only the third time I am teaching this course, and I have changed it quite substantially since I last taught it in 2008. There will be unavoidable rough edges around this course. But I promise you that many of the issues and ideas we will be discussing are really important -- and that we will have fun!
