FULBRIGHT AMERICAN STUDIES INSTITUTE ON US NATIONAL SECURITY

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchanges of the U.S. Department of State and
the United States Embassy in Armenia are pleased to announce the Fulbright American
Studies Institute on "U.S. National Security: American Foreign Policy Formulation in
an Era of Globalization," January 3 - February 13, 2005. The program is designed as
a rigorous six-week academic seminar to provide a deeper understanding of the
foundations and formulations of U.S. foreign policy, with specific reference to
American views on what constitutes basic U.S. national security and defense
requirements and how those views have evolved in the post-cold war era. All costs
for the program are covered by the US Government.

The Institute will be hosted by the University of Delaware (UD) Department of
Political Science and International Relations and the UD Center for International
Studies (CFIS) at the university campus in Newark, Delaware. The Institute will
address the following issues: (1) the evolution of the international system; (2) the
conceptual and historical foundations of US foreign and security policy; (3) the
institutional processes and actors involved in the making of US foreign and security
policy; (4) the challenge of transnational forces such as technology,
non-governmental actors, the security-related aspects of economic interdependence
and financial flows, the environment and migration; (5) the impact of 9/11 upon US
foreign and security policy; and (6) the unique characteristics, challenges, and
opportunities presented by various regions of the world for US foreign and security
policy today. The institute is organized into four independent and complementary
modules that examine the overall institute topic from various perspectives, each
with a clarifying research question to guide and focus attendant programmatic,
instructional, and research activities:

Module One: US foreign and security policy after 9/11. Research Question: Is
contemporary US foreign policy an instance of unilateralism or multiculturalism in
world politics?

Module Two: The policy-making process. Research Question: What are the implications
of the policy-making process for US foreign and security policy?

Module Three: The war on terrorism - homeland security and US foreign and security
policy. Research Question: What are the implications of the war on terrorism for US
foreign and security policy in your region of the world?

Module Four: Globalization, transnational forces, and US national security. Research
Question: How do transnational forces affect US foreign and security policy?

Over the six-week period, the Institute will feature a carefully calibrated mix of
lectures, roundtables, moderated and panel discussions, distance learning
experiences, off-campus site visits, study tours and cultural and social events.

ELIGIBILITY: Applicants should be experienced foreign university faculty and
professionals from institutions of higher education, including national military
academies. Good knowledge of English is required.

APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE US EMBASSY TO ARMENIA NO LATER THAN OCTOBER
14, 2004.

Program Funding: The U.S. Government will cover all institute costs, i.e.
international travel and allowances; domestic travel and ground transportation;
book, cultural, mailing and incidental allowances; admissions; housing and
