SOSC 7331 - Warfare in the Modern World


Credits: 3

Explores the nature, origins, and evolution of modern total war, starting with developments in late medieval and Renaissance Europe and running through the democratic and industrial revolutions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the American civil war, and the two world wars of the 20th century. Emphasizes issues of military doctrine and theory; organization and command; tactics and strategy; political and socio-economic factors; and the scientific, technological, and psychological dimensions of recent armed conflict and its impact on cultural patterns. Treats modern total war as an evolving phenomenon shaped by a complex set of interrelated trends unfolding during an extended period of more than half a millennium. May be applied to the following curricular concentrations: humanities; global studies; organizational dynamics; communication, media and technology.
