Introduction to Unit V: What is Foreign Policy? | World101

In the Foreign Policy unit of World101 we will focus on the approaches and tools countries use to advance their interests on the international stage. The Unit is divided into three different modules:

1) ‘Approaches to Foreign Policy’ reviews the different strategies countries use to advance their priorities and achieve their goals, comparing engagement and isolationism, idealism and realism, as well as multilateralism and unilateralism.

2) ‘Tools of Foreign Policy’ focuses on the mechanisms countries use to implement their approaches. It covers sanctions, diplomacy, soft power, deterrence, and many more.

3)‘U.S. Foreign Policy’ takes a deep dive into the institutions and policy tools the country created and utilizes to advance its interests abroad and at home.

These foreign policy lessons can help learners better navigate the major issues of today and the challenges of the future. To learn more, visit the new Foreign Policy unit here:
