Course Section Number: PPE-238-04
Department: Philosophy, Politics, Economic
Description: Why do we see war? Why is cooperation difficult? What are the humanitarian outcomes of conflicts? This course presents and analyzes the fundamental security challenges in contemporary international politics. The course considers general policy problems, while providing applications to specific contemporary cases. This course provides students with an overview of the theoretical and policy debates that comprise the field of international security. Each week focuses on a discrete topic which collectively gives students a sense of past, present, and future security challenges. 天下足球网,球探比分 will analyze classic studies of why countries go to war and form alliances as well as more recent research topics like why groups use terrorism, the emergence of international interventions, and contemporary issues in human security. The primary goal is to provide students with a foundation of knowledge on a range of topics in international security.
