This capstone seminar builds upon conceptions of security studies developed in SS483, National Security Seminar. Based on the foundation of U.S. security in the context of East-West relations and post-Cold War, this course shifts focus to the security issues of states other than the United States. Why do states form the security policies that they do? What factors influence their choices? Students analyze the defense planning process in major power countries as well as Third World countries.
