Why do men rebel and how do states react? DS460 examines the nexus between social movements, revolutions and insurgencies and introduces cadets to how this is applicable to national security and policy. Cadets will apply theoretical frameworks to analyze insurgencies from the individual, community and state level and understand applicable counterinsurgent strategies. Cadets do this through historic case study analysis, group collaborative projects, and both oral and written communication. Graduates will be able to analyze internal conflict and understand how this applies to national security policy.
