POSC 210 - Politics of War

3 hours
For thousands of years war has been discussed. Is war a reality of human nature or a construct of culture? A central question of political philosophy, how we live together, cannot escape the question of war. From Sun Tzu warring Chinese factions to Un initiated “humanitarian” efforts the questions of when, how, why have permeated political life. This course will take an admittedly cursory look at the question of war from many political/philosophical angles. We will do this through examination of different thinkers and conflicts in history. 

This course will satisfy the core area requirement in social sciences.
