Inside the Situation Room: Online Course with Hillary Clinton and Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo

Co-taught by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, this course engages learners with case studies and examines decision-making in historical and contemporary contexts, from the search for Osama bin Laden, to the “red line” in Syria, to negotiating with Iran. The course is meant to bridge the gap between theory and practice by taking some of the predominant theories of international relations and testing them against real-world cases of crisis decision-making. This course will not only help students interested in a career in foreign policy, but it will also be invaluable to students pursuing careers in other fields that require decision-making in crisis-like situations. This is a self-directed course. You will have access to lectures, readings, and quizzes. Using post-mortems of case studies—from the failed operation to rescue American hostages held in Iran in 1980 to the successful raid to kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011—and the first-hand experiences of Secretary Clinton, we apply theories from political science, psychology, behavioral economics, and other disciplines to better understand how senior policymakers make critical decisions in crisis situations. We also invited several guest lecturers, including Nobel Peace Prize-Winning Journalist Maria Ressa and President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee David Miliband, to discuss their experiences in crisis decision-making. We are pleased to share that all course fees, other than payments for copyrights for course material, will be dedicated entirely for financial aid for Columbia SIPA students in need.
