Making Foreign Policy
- Try to determine if size does make a difference in the foreign policy goals of governments. Visit the web sites of several of the countries mentioned in this chapter. Do the governments have different goals? Different activities? Make a Powerpoint slide set to present your findings to the class.
- Pick a recent international conference and compare the predicted behavior (foreign policy strategy, effects of size and resources) discussed in this chapter with the actual behavior of the country at the conference.
- Look up citizenship requirements of several countries you are somewhat familiar with. Make a list of countries that display elements of civic nationalism and others that seem to be ethnonationalist.
