POLS Internship Open House3:00pm
Here in the POLS Department, we are excited to spotlight three amazing POLS major and their accomplishments both inside and outside the school community. We are so proud of them, as well as every POLS major going above and beyond.
Do advisers affect foreign policy and, if so, how? Recent scholarship on elite decision-making prioritizes leaders and the institutions that surround them, rather than the dispositions of advisers themselves. We argue that despite the hierarchical nature of foreign policy decision-making, advisers’ predispositions towards the use of force shape state behavior through the counsel advisers provide in deliberations. We test our argument by introducing three datasets, including a dataset of foreign policy deliberations between US presidents and their advisers from 1947 to 1988.
Dr. Joshua Kertzer is Professor of Government and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Government at Harvard University. He earned a Ph.D from the Ohio State University. Among, his many publications, his book Resolve in International Politics (Princeton University Press) received the 2017 Alexander L George Award from the International Society of Political Psychology.
The event will take place on March 21st from 12:20-1:25pm in Oak 408. It will also be streamed at https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/meet/mas07010
