A study of the interrelationship between culture and
theories of conflict, both international and civil. The
seminar will also consider issues related to national
security and military doctrine. Increasingly theories of
conflict include cultural and psychocultural variables such
as conceptions of identity. And studies of national
security consider states' interests as "constructed." They
are based on custom and habit, norms and beliefs, and shared
understandings as much as the "objective reality" of the
international system. There is growing interest in
"strategic culture."
