The focus of this course is at the crossroad of nation’s economic strengths and weaknesses and a political power. The course introduces students to economic foundations of nation’s power and various types and modalities of strategies to use this power to achieve nation’s goals in international politics. Attention will be paid to both actions taken in peacetime and in the course of war. The course combines lectures and seminars and emphasizes students’ active involvement in small groups.
