| Description |
Course objective: The international system is characterized by the absence of central authority.
Within this anarchic world, states must pursue the goals of security (autonomy and military superiority) and economic prosperity. The objective of this course is to explore the underlying tension between nationalistic conceptions of security and the globalization of economic activity. Some of the topics that will be covered in this course include the determinants of defense spending and the impact of defense expenditures on economic performance, the dynamics of the development of new military technologies, the relationship between arms races and war, the impact of economic performance on conflict initiation and the effects of conflict on economic growth, the relation between trade and war, and the economics of disarmament.
Evaluation: Final exam (60 minutes)
Prerequisites: None
