Course Description
Warfare has evolved from ancient to modern times. In this course, students explore the transformative effect of warfare on society while also examining how social, cultural, and political changes have dramatically altered the way warfare is conducted.

The morality of war and its role as an instrument of change in transforming societies will also be discussed.
