We will then examine how these think tanks have been so effective. In the second half of the course we will examine the concept of groupthink and look at how it (or the lack of it) has led to good and bad decisions inn policy-making. We will then examine group think syndrome and look at how it may apply to policy decisions in the War on Iraq.ONLYSTUDENTSWHOHAVESUCCESSFULLYCOMPLETED米国社会論IWILLBEPERMITTEDTOREGISTERFORTHISCLASS."
