1 Spring 2008 MWF 10:10-11: Phillips Hall GOVERNMENT 386: THE CAUSES OF WAR Professor Christopher Way Office: 306 White Hall Office Hours: Wednesday 1:30-3:30 Office Phone: Teaching Assistants: Maria Sperandei Geoff Wallace Course Description: Government 386 examines problems of war and peace in theoretical and historical perspective. More specifically, we will examine the causes of interstate war that is, large scale organized violence between the armed forces of states. We will seek to discover what kinds of conditions make war between states more or less likely. Topics covered include: 1) historical patterns in warfare; 2) theoretical explanations for war; 3) evaluation of the evidence for the various explanations; 4) the impact of nuclear weapons on international politics; 5) the uses and limitations of air power; 6) ethics and warfare; and, 7) international terrorism and asymmetric warfare. Causes of war may be found at several levels of analysis. Our survey will focus on theories of war at three levels of analysis: the individual and small groups, the nationstate, and the international system. At each level different theories aim to identify causes of war and discover variables that make war more or less likely. At the individual level, for example, various psychological theories of decision making and small group dynamics offer explanations for war. At the state level, the central claim is that something about the nature of particular types of states causes them to be more aggressive or war-prone than other types of states (for example, democracies vs. authoritarian states, trading vs. autarchic states, unstable vs. secure governments). Finally, explanations at the international system level focus on balance of power politics, cycles of hegemonic rise and decline, arms races, deterrence failure, and alliance patterns as possible causes of war. After surveying explanations for war at these three levels, we will end the course by discussing a number of special topics: 1) the role of nuclear weapons; 2) the uses of air power in the contemporary era; 3) ethics and warfare; and, 4) international terrorism and asymmetric warfare. Throughout the class, we will pay special attention to evaluating the empirical evidence for different theories of war: what kind of evidence counts for or against a perspective? How well does the historical record support a theory s key hypotheses? Does statistical evidence, which looks at the conditions surrounding the outbreak of dozens or hundreds of wars, support or impugn hypotheses? Is this evidence consistent with the careful casework of historians who look at particular wars in great detail? Upon completing the course, students will not only be acquainted with the main types of explanations offered
2 2 for war, but they will also be able to evaluate the evidence supporting the various explanations of the causes of war. In turn, this knowledge should help students evaluate different proposals for fostering peace and reducing conflict in the future, and for crafting national security strategies. Requirements and Grading: Requirements are two preliminary exams, a final examination, and participation in a discussion section. There is no research paper. The two prelims will each combine an in-class and a take-home section. The in-class section will consist of several explain and describe questions and a short essay question. A short paper (5 pages) makes up the take-home section of each prelim exam. The two prelims each count for 25% of your final grade, while the final exam (which is entirely in class and comprehensive) accounts for 40%. Discussion section attendance and participation makes up the remaining 10%. Final Examination Date and Time: TBA Please make sure that you can take the final examination at the designated date and time; no early exam or alternate exam time will be considered. If you cannot take the final exam at the assigned time, do not take this class. Texts: Three books are available for purchase at the Cornell Campus Store and at Kraftees (in Collegetown), and a reading packet (in two volumes) is available at K C Copy Center in Collegetown (118 Dryden Rd). The reading load averages only 92 pages per week. Yet be forewarned: some of the heaviest weeks of reading come near the end of the semester. In addition, some of the reading is heavy on concepts and short on narrative, which always makes for slower going. Try to read ahead or at least keep up, or when dead week rolls around the week won t be the only thing that is dead... The following items are required: Geoffrey Blainey. The Causes of War. Kenneth N. Waltz and Scott Sagan. The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate Renewed. Michael Walzer. Just and Unjust Wars (4th Edition). Reading packet for Government 386.
