Field Seminar in International Relations Theory: Course Description
This survey course in international relations theories is offered by the Department of Political Science at MIT in Cambridge, MA.

Students then examine how international regimes and institutions affect stability using examples, such as European integration. The course asks how theories of different leaders, psychology and varying perceptions underlie international politics and misperceptions. After completing this course, students will understand how international relations and foreign policy theory influence diplomacy and domestic policy decisions. Political science professor Dr. M. Fravel teaches this course. This OpenCourseWare requires an Internet connection and access to the required readings.
