This course uses the foundation provided by SS307/357 to provide cadets with an in-depth look at the field of international relations. The course begins by inspecting alternative views of theory in general and political science in particular. Cadets are introduced to classic as well as contemporary works in the context of their times. Cadets examine topical cases pertaining to war, wealth, and state formation and transformation. Throughout the course, students explore the value and limitations of theoretical approaches to social science as well as their utility in making and implementing policy.
