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."
