This course examines the historical relationship of the US with the underdeveloped, weak states of Asia, Africa, and Latin America and includes the newer states of Eastern Europe from a comparative perspective. These states make up a substantial numerical majority of the international system. While Latin America has played a substantive part in defining US Foreign policies for this hemisphere it is not until recently that Asia and Africa have come into prominence as weak but influential players in regional and by default international stability for the US. The course evaluates the relationship of the US with these regions from an economic, political, and military perspective. It examines efforts by the US to promote regional stability through trade and military assistance without ignoring political considerations. A major portion of the course will be devoted to US Foreign Policy analysis to determine their effectiveness. |

The course will explore the diplomacy involved in the numerous American interventions in the Caribbean Basin during the years of the so-called Banana Wars, including, in certain cases, the influence of European powers. Likewise, we will examine the military operations undertaken in support of U.S. policy, the scope of which varied from full-scale war to landings of a few companies of men. Marine Corps or naval forces carried out the majority of these landings, although there were significant instances of intervention by units of the U.S. Army. An examination of the dual role of the individual as diplomat/military officer is an important segment of this study. |

The interests of the world?s most populous nation (China), one of the world?s leading manufacturers (Japan), the world?s largest democracy (India), and the world?s dominant military power (the U.S.) intersect in the physical, political and economic geography of the Asia-Pacific region. The region contains the world's largest economies, including China, Japan, and the United States. Official U.S. national security policy recognizes this element of the international security environment and anticipates that American involvement in Asia will likely increase over time, making alliances and relationships in this region even more important. This course will highlight the changes in these interests and the actions that these and other states in the region take to advance or, when necessary, defend them and, therefore influence U.S. national security strategy and policy as well as the forces that support them. |
