Evolution of the International Order | Part I - Fall 2023 Application

The virtual seminar on the "Evolution of the International Order" provides AHS officers with a historical perspective on contemporary international affairs. Part I runs during the fall semester and through 5 sessions examines the major historical ideas and events — the Peace of Westphalia; Congress of Vienna; and the Treaty of Versailles — out of which today's international order was born. The sessions revolve around one of foreign policy’s classic works: Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger. The first session is the notable exception: it draws on Thinking in Time by Ernest May and Richard Neustadt to underscore history’s use and misuse by decision-makers. Admitted students receive complimentary copies of Diplomacy and Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for Decision-Makers. The readings are selected to enable participants to meaningfully participate in question-driven discussions.

Dates: Part I (Fall 2023) - Wednesdays, 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. ET: Sept. 27, Oct. 11, 25, Nov. 8, 22
