COURSE DESCRIPTION This is a readings course in U.S. foreign policy and international history, with an integrated emphasis on foreign and domestic sources and consequences of global behavior and conflict. We will examine the whole of America's international history, from the colonial era to the present. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students will identify and describe the major themes and central issues relating to U.S. foreign relations from the colonial era to the present.

Students will identify and describe historiographical approaches used in the study of U.S. foreign relations.

Students will identify and describe what history is (i.e., the activity by which we analyze the human past critically) through the study of U.S. foreign relations so that their knowledge of how historians cover, describe, and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events, and ideas will better equip them to understand themselves and the roles they may play as historians in addressing the issues facing humanity today.

Students will develop and improve reading, critical thinking, and writing skills in relation to historical knowledge, issues, and the analysis of primary and secondary sources (i.e., improve your own intellectual self-reliance).

COURSE STRUCTURE This course is based on in-class discussion and readings. It is web-augmented using the course management system, Blackboard Learn. You will use your UNT account to login to the course from the UNT Blackboard Learn page.

2

Each week, there will be common readings (a book, book chapters, etc.) for which everyone will be responsible. One student each week will be assigned to lead discussion on Herring, From Colony to Superpower. In addition, students will read and report individually on books that are relevant to that week's topic.

At the end of each week’s discussion, I will preview the following weeks’ topic. ASSESSMENTS AND GRADING

Each student will be responsible for reading ten (10) different books during the semester (in addition to the common readings) and writing a 2-5-page overview of each. These reviews will discuss the main arguments of the book, how they relate to the topic and common reading(s) or other relevant books in the area with which you are familiar, and should include an assessment of the book’s strengths and weaknesses and what might be expected of future works in the area. Reviews MUST be submitted in Blackboard by noon on each Wednesday BEFORE our scheduled Thursday meeting (full instructions will be given in class).

At the end of the semester, each student will prepare an impressionistic and synthetic 10-12-page essay based on his/her readings and course content. Alternatively, students may choose to submit an essay focused on one of our semester topics or themes in preparation for taking the US Foreign Policy Seminar next semester. Students wishing to prepare this latter essay MUST meet with me early in the semester to discuss the topic and scope.
