Description
This class will focus on democracy and the military instrument of national power. Students will learn about 1) the role of Congress in foreign policy, oversight, and accountability, 2) the extent (and limits) of democratic oversight and accountability for presidents considering or using force abroad, and 3) the role of the military in decision-making about the use of force. In the second half of the class, students will debate a normative question on democracy and going to war.
