GOVT 85.43 Advances in the Study of International Conflict

This collaborative and team-taught course seeks to introduce advanced undergraduates to cutting-edge research on topics by leading experts in international conflict. Taking advantage of an online format, the course features instructors from 11 different universities. The course is organized around important theoretical and empirical puzzles in world politics, including why states go to war, why they win, the rise of China, and how new technologies like robotics and artifficial intelligence will shape the future of the international order. Each week features a new topic and a series of online (asynchronous) lectures and (live) discussion seminars. Dartmouth students will thus have the pportunity to hear lectures from leading experts and to participate in a joint, all-university, weekly discussion section led by each professor. We will also have a separate online discussion for Dartmouth students only that I will lead.
