Foreign Policy and Public Opinion

As a consequence of globalization, the nature of international politics has become more and more multi-layered. Cross level interactions between countries largely influence international politics, as well, through decisions of non-state actors in domestic politics. And public emerges as one of the most influential actors of foreign policy making both in democratic and non-democratic regimes. Moreover, states attempt to establish ties with foreign publics to develop better relations with the hope of influencing foreign policy choices of their counterparts. This upper-level course aims to probe the strategies that states develop to connect with foreign public. Moreover, recent popular concepts such as soft power and public diplomacy will also be subject to examination. The course, first of all, aims to help students to develop a basic understanding of the dynamics and interactive nature of world politics. Moreover, probing the importance and conduct of " new foreign policy", students can enhance their understanding about the cross-level leverages in international politics.
