POLI2600 · Political Science
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
What determines the conduct of states toward each other in matters of war and peace? To what extent are states moved by considerations of justice, of international norms, and national honor? To what extent are they moved by considerations of national interest understood either as national security, economic advantage, accumulation of power, or glory? And what should determine the conduct of states? This course will address these questions by examining contemporary literature in international politics as well as selections from the classics of political theory and political history. This course fulfills the political theory subfield requirement; this course will meet with POLI2500.
