    FUTURE OF WAR POS 394/HON 394 SPRING 2018; WEDNESDAY 4:50 PM – 7:35 PM PAYNE HALL L1-32 Professor Daniel Rothenberg Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Coor 6692, Wednesdays 2:00-4:00 PM and by appointment Professor Peter L. Bergen Email: [email protected] Pablo Ortega Poveda, Graduate Teaching Assistant Email: [email protected] COURSE OVERVIEW This course engages the social, political, economic, and cultural implications of the changing nature of war and conflict. The class provides an overview of some classic philosophical and military-strategic theories and conceptions of war, an introduction to the laws of war, and a consideration of a number of broad trends in global conflict. The class looks at key elements of the current transformation of conflict including new and emerging technologies such as drones and autonomous weapons and the complex threats of global terrorism. It also considers the psychological, social and humanitarian impact of conflict through a review of the plight of refugees and internally displaced persons with a focus on recent events in Syria. The course contextualizes these issues and debates in relation to the post-9/11 wars, with a consideration of how the U.S. goes to war, the rise of ISIS, domestic terrorism and how recent conflicts have impacted the U.S. military and the larger American society. The class is taught by Prof. Peter L. Bergen and Prof. Daniel Rothenberg, co-directors of ASU’s Center on the Future of War (https://futureofwar.asu.edu/). All course material including readings, assignments and other relevant class information is available on the course Blackboard site.
