The course focuses on patterns of peace and ideas and policies concerning peace through world history, with emphasis on recent issues and developments. Key questions to be explored include: human nature—is humankind naturally warlike and what’s the evidence from early history? What is the relationship between major religions and peace, and are there key differences? Why are some regions more peaceful than others? Is there an “American” approach to peace, and should it be revisited? Are there contemporary reasons to think that war might decline? The course will emphasize discussion and several student projects, including some group work and presentations, and a paper that combines some research with interpretation.
