The American National Security State
GOVT 253
Fall 2014
Section: 01  

In this seminar we will focus on the rise of the United States' national security apparatus through the second half of the 20th century. This topic deals with political issues that are often characterized as "intermestic" because they occur at the point of intersection between domestic and international politics. Accordingly, we will examine the ways in which external forces influence internal state-building. We will also consider the choices and implications of policies designed to provide for what President Roosevelt famously called "freedom from fear."
