About the course 'Applied Issues in War Studies'
Applied issues in War Studies will focus on the societal aspects of contemporary armed conflict. The course will teach students different ways of analysing and understanding a very complex human phenomenon: War. Students will study how various modern societies think about war and security policies, they will study security cooperation and the (international) legal implications of war and contemporary means of warfare.
In this course students will explore aspects of preparing societies for armed conflict, including decision-making processes, preparations for war, and the various uses of the military instrument; students will learn about how and why armed forces can be deployed. In this course, theories, methodologies and concepts of War Studies will be applied to practical examples and the perspectives of practitioners will be sought throughout the course. Students will be asked consider methodologies on how to think about, and prepare for, future wars and types of warfare.
