Class Details
This course examines when, why, and how military threats and military force are used to obtain international political objectives. It discusses the many methods used by states and non-state actors to bend opponents to their will, including military coercion, economic coercion, terrorism, guerrilla warfare, nuclear threats, and conventional war. It also explores how the organizational attributes of these actors–e.g., leadership structures, military cultures, and bureaucratic politics–may affect their decisions to use force and the effectiveness with which they do so. The course focuses on the period from the end of World War II until the present.
