About this course

Over the course of this semester we will read and study with close attention Thucydides great work, The Peloponnesian War. Despite having been written almost 2,500 years ago, Thucydides had much to say about politics, war, revolution, and democracy that remain remarkably relevant to this day. Some popular commentators refer to a Thucydides Trap in describing contemporary relations between the U.S. and Chinabut we will do much better than that, exploring continuity (and change) across what Thucydides identified as the timeless wellsprings of human behavior honor, interest and fear in order to enhance our understanding of world politics and to hone our skills as analysts of international relations.
