Course Description and Goals
This course examines contemporary problems of war and peace from a historical and theoretical perspective. What were the causes of
war in the past and what can we learn from that experience? What strategies do actors in the international system use to employ force,
and how have they changed in the nuclear age? What are the current problems facing decisionmakers today? The course begins with a
review of political, psychological, organizational, cultural, and economic theories of the causes of war, then uses these theories to
examine the origins and character of both historical and contemporary conflicts, including the First and Second World Wars and
the Iraq War. It continues by examining the effects on conflict of the nuclear revolution. The course concludes by
examining the major contemporary threats to national and international security that may be faced in the coming decade.
Conference.
Students will learn to perform basic research and analysis through writing and thinking about conflict from multiple different
perspectives. Readings are drawn from historic and contemporary scholars of strategy, war, and politics, cover a wide variety of issues,
and are presented in context with historical and contemporary events. Assignments are a mixture of analysis, research, and
experiential learning.
Requirements
Class Participation
Students are required to actively participate in the class; they will have the opportunity to do so both during and outside of classroom
hours. Beginning the third week of class, each student will be assigned to three days during the semester in which they will author a
short reaction memo (300-400 words) expressing an opinion about that day’s readings. These are NOT summaries; rather, they should
attempt to agree or disagree with or compare and contrast the readings. This should be posted in the forums on the course website by 8
PM the day before the readings are to be discussed. ALL students are required to read the memos and be prepared
to respond to them the next day in class. Students are encouraged to respond to the postings online as part of their
participation. Students that miss class for whatever reason may make up the class by posting a summary of each of the
readings to the course website for the day they missed. In order to make up missed days from the first half of the
semester, these must be posted before the first day of classes after the break; from the second half, by the end of reading
period.
Readings
Readings for the course are drawn from books available at the bookstore as well as E-Readings, which can be downloaded off the
course website. Readings marked “Cases” are required, but should be read after any more theoretical articles. These are best
used in conjunction with Endnote or Zotero, both of which are supported by the library. Students are expected to
bring a copy of the readings to class every day for reference. Laptops are not permitted in class; tablet devices may be
used. Readings marked “Further” are other relevant articles; they are not required for class. Students who have a
particular interest in the topics in question are encouraged to read these articles and to incorporate them into their
assignments.
Two books are for sale at the bookstore and are also on reserve at the library; Note that either the (black) 2002 second edition, the (red)
2005 update second edition of Betts are fine. Two additional books are recommended, but not at all required (and not at the bookstore).
The relevant part (that is, all of it minus the initial commentary) of The Art of War is available on E-Readings as well, so purchasing
the book is recommended, not required. Finally, those who are generally interested in the study of war classics may wish to purchase a
copy of Clausewitz; make sure that you get the version edited by Michael Howard and Peter Paret, not the bowdlerized version by
Anatol Rapoport.

Course Website
Frequent reading of the course website will be helpful for success in the class. Discussion and collaboration with your peers is
available to you through the website as well as in class; supplemental and core readings will be made available there; and assignments
will be turned in electronically using the site.
Assignments and Quals
There are two formal assignments for this course. More details regarding the assignments will be available later. If you intend to qual
in this course, you must let me know the first day. In general, I look for four things in an essay: A clear argument in the
introductory paragraph, an explanation of the theories that you will be using, an illustration of your argument with
direct examples, and a conclusion that discusses the implications of your findings. Note that word counts include your
bibliography.

Citation and Plagiarism
A major goal of this course is to encourage good reading, research, and citation habits. Good research requires good documentation of
sources and the ability to put one’s own analysis and thoughts into a paper rather than relying on others. When in doubt as to whether
you should cite something, always do it. Citations are required for ideas as well as facts, and are imperative even if you are not directly
quoting authors. Make sure that you provide as specific a citation as possible; if an author discusses an idea in one
section or one page, cite the specific section or page instead of the full article or book. I usually recommend that
students use in-text author-date citation with full Chicago Manual of Style citations; see their Citation Quick Guide: <http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools˙citationguide.html>.
However, style is less important than the cites being present. If you use an idea or a fact without attribution, you are plagiarizing
someone else’s work. Plagiarism and cheating are violations of academic integrity and thus violations of Reed’s Honor Principle. As
specified by Reed’s academic conduct policy, such violations will result in disciplinary actions, including suspension or permanent
dismissal from the College. Plagiarism is submitting a piece of work which in part or in whole is not entirely the student’s own work
without attributing those same portions to their correct source. For examples of plagiarism and how to avoid it, see <http://www.csub.edu/ssric-trd/howto/plagiarism.htm>. If nothing else, you should avoid “sinister buttocks” syndrome. For more
information on Reed’s policies see: <http://www.reed.edu/academic/gbook/comm˙pol/acad˙conduct.html>.
Plagiarism often comes as the result of a student being up against a deadline without being able to meet it. If you are
having trouble meeting a deadline for whatever reason, please contact me. Because every assignment is a paper that
will be handed out well in advance, I have no problem giving extensions. It is always better to ask for more time
than to plagiarize. When you ask for an extension, you should a)explain what events are causing you to miss the
deadline and b)request an amount of time proportional to the interfering events. You may ask for an extension up to, but
not exceeding, the amount of time remaining for the assignment, except for cases of emergencies or unanticipatable
circumstances.
Accommodations
If you’d like to request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disability Support Services. If you have a letter
from Student Services, please let me know so we can discuss those accommodations.
