This course is designed to examine the nature of international conflicts in the 21st Century. Students will analyze how international conflicts have occurred through time while examining the question of why actors (people and states) take particular types of actions. The course will focus on countries and non-state actors in the Middle East, Asia and Africa in which there is a high level of international conflict. The class will study case studies which demonstrate examples of post-cold war conflict: terrorism, civil war and international intervention.
Prerequisite(s): qualification for Presidential Scholars Program, or 3.5 GPA with approval of dean for Liberal Arts.
