These discussions were not only valuable guidance for the DAV in its efforts to develop this new course, but other colleagues als had the chance to re-evaluate and consult with peers about their teaching modules related to the topic of foreign policy analysis. Moreover, the curriculum that the DAV develops for this course can be an excellent source of research and teaching reference for other colleagues and institutions in Vietnam.
