About the course 'War Studies: History, Theories and Concepts'
This course will focus on the history of thinking about war, on theories used in contemporary war studies, and on studying concepts that may help us in understanding the complexity of war and warfare. In doing so, the course will put an emphasis on especially the military dimension of international security, and will constantly look at, and incorporate, current events.
In this course students will explore the nature of war, the causes of war, and the use of the military instrument in international relations and the relationship between military power and politics. Students will learn about strategic cultures, and modern (r)evolutions in war and the development of trends and theories in the field of War Studies. As part of the course, students will assess different types of warfare, or threats to peace and security, for instance insurgencies and great power competition, but also cyber operations and at the military dimensions of Peace Support Operations since the early 1990s. In the course the focus will lie distinctly on contemporary conflict, and insights from different fields will be used i.e. IR, Security Studies, (Militairy) History, War Studies that look back further in order to better understand the present.
