Course
Description: The twentieth century was one of the bloodiest
and deadliest in the history of the human species.
The two world wars alone accounted for more than 60
million deaths and untold numbers of personal
tragedies, and the Cold War which followed in the
wake of the Second World War produced technologies
capable of, if not actually destroying the planet,
at least rendering it largely uninhabitable for
human beings.

If the twenty first century is anything like the twentieth,
there's probably no need to worry about the twenty second.
In other words, a better understanding of issues of war and
peace is vital to our continued existence. This course will
attempt to provide a more theoretical and historically
situated framework for understanding the obstacles and
opportunities before us. Much of the reading and discussion
will be focused on war, trying to understand its causes, for
without that understanding it seems difficult if not
impossible to begin to find solutions that make peace
possible.
