POLI174 PO - The U.S. and IraqWhen Offered: Last offered fall 2016.
Instructor(s): M. Boduszynski
Credit: 1
Iraq has been a focus of U.S. foreign policy for many decades. In this course, we will try to explain why a modestly-sized country of 33 million people has played such an outsize role in the American imagination. We will study the history of U.S.-Iraqi relations, including the first Gulf War (1991), the 2003 invasion, and the response to the Islamic State after 2014, and more recent events. In so doing, we will seek to understand both Iraq and the making of U.S. foreign policy. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: POLI 007 PO , POLI 008 PO .
