- Inhalt
- Over the course of more than three decades as an American diplomat, William J. Burns (since 2021 CIA director) played a central role in numerous diplomatic episodes. Based on our reading of the book we will continue with a reflection on the role of memoirs/autobiographies in international politics. We then use the book as a springboard for a conceptual analysis of a changing international architecture and the implications for US foreign policy. We will do this by referring explicitly on the Middle East and North Africa. The seminar starts with a kick-off session in late April to be followed by a reading slot until mid-July when we reconvene for three sessions en bloc.
Please note: The book and the chapters for each session will be available as pdf on StudOn. The eBook is also accessible online in the library.
