INQR 1510 - War and Society


This course examines how culture and society shape war, and inversely, how war shapes culture and society. It views war through the lens of social sciences with case studies ranging from the role of war in non-western societies to the ways in which war has affected American culture. Some of the issues covered in the course include the study of different types of war, the relations between war and the nation-state, between weapons technology and culture, the notions of pacification and nation-building, and the role of rituals in the military institution.
