History 75700
U.S. & the World Since 1890
KC Johnson
Mondays, 6.30-8.30pm
| This course will examine the US interaction with the world community since 1890. We'll be taking a historiographical approach, reading a book weekly plus reviews and occasional review essays. The course will focus both on how US foreign policy has intersected with domestic politics and scholarship that places US foreign policy as part of the broader context of 20th century international relations. |
