Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This course is designed to familiarize the intelligence professional with how major events and systemic changes occur in the international system through wars and revolutions. It also examines political changes that occur in a slower, more evolutionary way. In both cases, the approach is through a study of historical and contemporary examples. The signals that political systems give off as they approach major structural change are examined in some detail, as are the structures of revolutions and conventional and unconventional wars, including asymmetrical wars. Social and economic trends that shape more evolutionary political change are also studied. All forms of change in the international system are of importance to the intelligence analyst, who must warn the policy community of anticipated developments of importance to the government and, subsequently, explain the implications of what has occurred. The course will enable the student to understand predictive analysis and modeling and provide analytical tools with which to deal with changing events. Prerequisites: SS 110 and 235; SIS 315; or permission of the instructor.
