Course Title:
STRATEGIC STUDIES
Course Number:
DAFF 25A01
Course Description:
The course introduces students to some of the theories and concepts that form the basic of strategic studies as a distinct subfield of international relations (IR). The course is thus an introduction to the key ideas and themes of strategic studies, which deals with the preparation and use of military power to serve the ends of politics. The course aims to guide students through a wide-ranging survey of theoretical and practical aspects of strategic studies. It will include sections on the uses of strategic theory, instruments of war - land, sea, and air power - and their evolution, nuclear strategy, limited war, small wars and terrorism and war termination. The course tries to strike a balance between theoretical works and case studies. We will thus link the study of strategy with the realities of modern politics.
