This freshman seminar examines US foreign policy and the war on terror. It is designed to provide answers to the following questions: Why have terrorists repeatedly targeted US citizens and interests over the last 25 years? How have US presidents prior to George W. Bush responded to these attacks? What is the Bush administration's national security policy after 9/11? Does the Bush doctrine really represent a radical departure from previous policies? Why did the US invade Iraq? Was the war in Iraq a distraction from the war on terror, or is it actually central to the Bush administration's grand strategy?
Professor Robert Rauchhaus, Political Science, research interests are international relations and theory, national security policy, military strategy, and conflict management.
