Course Title: DIME Lessons- Learned from Ukraine
Instructor: Ann Dailey, SAIS '14 (MA)
Brought to you by Odyssey
February 4, 2025 - March 25, 2025 (6 Sessions)
Tuesday, 6:00PM ET - 8:00PM ET
Virtual via Zoom
Offered as part of the Fall 2024 Odyssey Alumni Academy - courses exclusively for alumni and taught by esteemed members of our alumni community and faculty.
Course Description: This course will analyze the importance of taking a holistic and strategic approach to foreign policy objectives by assessing the U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through the diplomatic, information, military, and economic (DIME) levers of power.
Students will learn about the DIME construct and similar whole-of-government approaches to foreign policy and national security decision-making, then analyze the efficacy of the countries’ responses through the lens of this approach. This course will explore each leg or lever individually through a mix of theoretical reading on how the instrument of power is meant to work, a review of how it worked in the countries’ responses, and a case study on one particular line of effort within each of the four levers.
