| Abstract | Clearly, the United States cannot respond to every crisis, but what is meant precisely by the phrase "American interests"? How is the U.S. national interest defined and by whom? Does its definition affect the decision of how to respond to a crisis? This lesson deals with these complex and intertwined questions. By defining the national interest for themselves, students understand not only what their options are but the core values and assumptions that are the foundations of these options. Students working to understand the framework of decision making surrounding intervention will benefit from having articulated and tested their own definitions of the U.S. national interest against those of their classmates and against the decisions of policymakers. The student reading and assignment, in conjunction with the lesson's exercises and suggested discussion, are designed to begin the process of understanding the core assumptions of U.S. foreign policy. The lesson cites educational goals, presents a group exercise, provides questions for class discussion, and outlines a homework assignment. (BT) |
