Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking panel discussion on American foreign policy and national security in the Trump era. Delve into the complexities of the "America First" doctrine, examining its implications for global leadership, international agreements, and strategic alliances. Gain insights from expert panelists Peter Feaver, Julia Ioffe, and David Petraeus as they analyze the Trump administration's approach to wielding American power and its potential consequences. Investigate key topics such as the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, NATO commitments, and the abandonment of the TPP. Consider the challenges facing the administration, including complex national security issues and questions surrounding the Trump Doctrine. Evaluate the potential outcomes of this foreign policy approach, weighing whether it will lead to a stronger, more respected America or result in isolationism and a power vacuum on the global stage.
