Thank you so much Prof. Glover. I learned so much and now have a good understanding of what Foreign Policy is. Your presentation of the course and explanation are so splendid. Thanks once again.
Listening to this lecture in light of the Russian Ukrainian war, its clear to me that Russia views the world through structural realism lenses; depicted by one of Putin's speeches where he says that the world is no longer Uni polar, inferring that he is challenging America's military dominance. Thanks for this clarity.
Good Day, Prof. Glover and thank you kindly for your insightful presentation. My frustration with the discipline of IR is the dominate old, white male perspective promulgated by all. I think you touch on it in a subtle manner in how you separate the interest of major, medium, and small powers. I would most enjoy studying under you because it appears you divorce yourself from the American lens and make a concerted effort to not go to that comfortable place of greatest hits, "white is right" and "might makes right." However, I take issue with the notion that because we in the US have a need (natural resources), then fulfilling that need (national interest), is solely within our prerogative. I believe this is imperialism by another name. And although the study is inspiring, it is dangerous to suggest such an ideology to your students. Because your students are the ones who will try to normalize relations with Cuba or pick a side and throw out the two-state solution. There must be a way to study and express these views without presenting them in such a way that if a policy was made by your students, the indigenous people who own the land where the resource resides would suffer or the US would have to go without. Having worked under Rumsfeld at the Pentagon, I am familiar with this line of thinking. Lives are at stake. I mixed my examples to illustrate how a philosophical ideology in one area has a corresponding affect in other areas. Very respectfully, please respond.
Craig Elstak Hi. I'm not really sure what you mean by ideology here. This lecture is not meant to be normative or proscriptive. It's simply saying that these are the factors that states take into account when crafting foreign policy. Material interests are important and will continue to be so in perpetuity. This series of lectures exposes students to a variety of critical frameworks that would give them the tools to critique neoimperialism. But I'd be remiss if I didn't clearly lay out the way the world works presently.
@@robertglover1168 assalam alaykum prof. this is a student of international relations and diplomacy @zanzibar university. in this reply, i would, with respect, like to ask you if you could consider craig Elstak concern on how the major, middle as well as the small states view their foreign policy. your reply will not be taken for granted.
"We must lead the world by deeds and action." "He's talking about the proliferation of nuclear weapons, international terrorism, so you get a sense on what he considers the concrete threats to be."
I'm highly interested in following the 17 videos keenly to get the real understanding of International relations as course of study. In fact I just changed my mind in picking up a course of study in IR in one of the university in Nigeria. My question is that can I be assessed and given certificate from the University of Maine. I mean does University of Maine run a course of study in IR in which students are assessed and given certificates. Thanks
