POLI 3630 The Causes and Prevention of War
The Causes and Prevention of War
This course surveys the causes of war and peace among nations. The first half examines theories of war causation, and the second tests these out on historical case studies from the 20th century. The lessons of the past will be applied to important contemporary questions: Is the postwar peace among the great powers permanent? What policies can help reduce the likelihood of future war?
