- Class Description:
- This Topics course will explore The Consequences of War. Understandably consumed with preventing war, scholars of international relations have generally focused on war's causes. But war's consequences are no less important. This course asks how war--in its various stages and forms--has reshaped international and domestic orders. What have been the effects on how the international system has been organized, on international institutions, and on great power hierarchies? When have warfare and preparations for war had a negative, or perhaps even a positive, impact on economic growth and inequality? Can liberal-democratic institutions--the separation of powers, press freedoms, privacy--successfully weather the turmoil and stress of war? Can they emerge unscathed, or even strengthened, in the long term? While these questions are timely, they are also timeless, and we will range widely across space and time to answer them.
