Theories of War & Peace

This course focuses mainly on inter-state war and makes a comprehensive review of the literature on the causes of war and the conditions of peace. We focus mainly on theoretical and empirical research in political science, but we also focus on research in other fields. I will study the main theories, their important concepts and causal relationships, causal relationships to war and peace, and possible situations. We also paid attention to the extent of empirical support for various theories and hypotheses and studied several key empirical research programs on the origin and expansion of war. Our research involves the use of qualitative methods, large N quantitative methods, formal modeling and experimental methods. We are also very interested in methodological issues related to epistemology and research design. But our main focus lies in the logical consistency of the theory and the analytical limitations, and on the types of research designs that might be useful for testing them. This course is intended for graduate students who want to understand and contribute to political theory and empirical literature on war, peace and security. Students with various interests and students from other departments can also benefit from the seminar and are very much appreciated. Ideally, members of the seminar will be familiar with the fundamental issues of international relations theory, scientific philosophy, research design and statistical methods.

The correct understanding, the dilemma theory of security, and the wider spiral model constitute a strong war and peace theory by interaction. They capture the general dynamics that lead to the outbreak of war and the maintenance of peace (ie, by overturning or mitigating security dilemmas). Therefore, the impact of this concept far exceeds the theoretical range. A security dilemma has been developed to help explain the main events such as the First World War, the origin and termination of the Cold War, and ethnic conflicts in the former Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia, and the African Republic. .11 More importantly, security dilemmas and wider spiral models have been developed to develop policies for some of the most pressing issues in international politics, including the management of weapons.
