August 22nd, 2017 Economics Comments Off on Propagating National Security Interests

Propagating National Security Interests

Purpose: The primary goal of this Assignment is to evaluate how communication of foreign policy interests can be influenced by different theoretical perspectives. Your task is to discuss and assess how effective are realist, liberal, and identity theoretical perspectives at communicating U.S. national interests.
Prepare: Read the Conclusion in the course text and the 2015 U.S. National Security Strategy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Reflect: Effective communication is essential in conducting productive foreign affairs. One of the most important forms of communication is letting other states know national security interests. States work diligently to ensure that other states are aware of their national security interests. Conflict can sometimes erupt when national security interests are not received, are misunderstood, or are poorly communicated. As we discussed in Week Two, history is filled with examples of when states have not received, have misunderstood, or have poorly communicated vital national security interests with catastrophic results. Embedded in the challenges of effective communication is the ability to comprehend the various international relations theoretical perspectives that imbue communications of security goals, objectives, and interests. Again, incomplete awareness and understanding of this form of global political communication can lead to catastrophic results.
Write: In your assignment, complete the following:
Describe one statement in the National Security Strategy (NSS) that is based on the realist perspective.
Describe one statement in the National Security Strategy (NSS) that is based on the liberal perspective.
Describe one statement in the National Security Strategy (NSS) that is based on the identity perspective.
