Course Description
The course will explore contemporary social theory as it relates to war & terrorism. Lectures, group discussions & exercises will be used to help the students to understand the sociological foundations for conflict, as well as the explanations given by politicians and ideologues. Films and guest speakers directly involved with planning & waging war will be utilized. As there is not unified theory for the sociology of war, group exercises will be guided to possibly arrive at such a paradigm.
