How does domestic politics affect foreign policy and vice versa? This course takes as a starting point the intuition developed by studies of ?two level games,? where international relations is more than nation states interacting with one another. Rather international relations consists of politicians and policymakers- with varying constituencies and operating in different political and institutional structures- interact with one another. How does this conception of IR influence our analysis of diverse issues ranging from trade to war? This course will emphasize application of game theoretic analyses to study conflict and cooperation in international relations but begins with a basic review of game theoretic ideas developed in previous PS courses.
