POLI SCI 430

Fiction Driven Foreign Policy
(Fall 2006)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces students to the use of fiction to promote foreign policy initiatives. Students will study the latest methods for undermining reality-based analysis using fantasy, fiction, treachery, torture and ad hominem argumentation.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. General Requirements

# Convince the dean of the School of Foreign Service that the instructor deserves tenure as a reward for establishing that ties exist between the Women's Studies Program and the heretofore unknown Islamunist Revolutionary Front.
