Description

Introduces students to the analytical and comparative study of civil wars. The origins, course, and termination of historical and contemporary civil wars will be analyzed from a variety of perspectives and literatures, and prominent cases will be analyzed and discussed in depth. The course aims to provide students with a solid theoretical and historical foundation and to highlight the difficult policy dilemmas associated with civil wars, such as the tension between states rights and human rights and whether and how to intervene.
