Learning outcomes |
The learning objectives of this course are to analyze the objectives, actors and instruments in the formulation and conduct of the foreign policy of the great powers, as well as international security. The analysis of a State's foreign policy necessarily requires the crossing of internal and external factors. Among these factors we find changeable elements, such as political leadership and perennial elements such as geopolitical constraints. Now, the objective of this UC is to understand these factors and the elements that have characterized Foreign Policy, as well as International Security.
