This course requires active student participation, including presentation of reviewed books to the class. The learning outcomes include developing familiarity with strategic ideas and understanding the link between politics and strategy. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Participation<br \/>\n15%<br \/>\nBook Presentation and Review<br \/>\n35%<br \/>\nFinal Paper<br \/>\n50%<\/p>\n<p>Students are expected to prepare at least <strong>one question<\/strong>for each weekly reading assignment and email them to the intsructor <strong>by 14:00 each Monday<\/strong>. Students\u2019 questions will provide the basis for class discussions and count toward course participation.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Indicative Texts<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Colin S.
