POS 3108 - Search for Peace

Institution:

Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

In our times wars are fought to an inconclusive end; consequently they tend to go on and on. What are the problems? Should they be allowed to go on without ending in peace? What can be done to bring about peace in a war-torn country? These are some of the questions this seminar will address. Starting with an examination of how a war did come to an end (World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War) the inquiry will take students through various theoretical perspectives (Realist, Liberal and Socialist) on war and peace and apply the insights gained from the study to the current problem areas: Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Korea.
