As for the case discussions listed in the syllabus, these assignments assume that you will learn more from actively participating in the process of foreign policy analysis than if you only passively listen to lectures. As a result, it is essential that you come to class having read the material and prepared to participate actively in the discussion. If you do not participate, you will be called upon to do so. Case discussions are a process involving group analysis of foreign policy events. Without active participation, our analysis will not be useful or successful.
Memos are due the session immediately following the class session when the case was discussed.
John T. Rourke, Ralph Carter and Mark A. Boyer. The Consequences of the Peace. Oxford University Press. Pew and Kennedy School case packets. Each memo should be about 2 double-spaced typed pages.
