The World's Most Consequential Foreign Policy — From the Inside

No country's foreign policy matters more to the rest of the world than America's. With 8 comprehensive modules — the most of any course in the GDF Academy — this course offers a complete picture of how the United States formulates, debates, and executes its global strategy: from the constitutional foundations and bureaucratic machinery to economic statecraft, military power, and the defining rivalry with China.

Perfect for diplomats, policy analysts, and students who need to understand American foreign policy from the inside out — whether to work alongside the US, in opposition to it, or simply to understand how the world's dominant power makes its decisions.
