CLQ 3141 C4/CS: War & Peace Cultural Paradigms

This course will explore how human institutions in a range of cultures can channel human behavior and development in the direction of war and conflict, or in the direction of peace and non-violence. Using the comparative method, students will contrast and compare a sample of indigenous traditional cultures which practice or practiced warfare with a sample of traditional cultures that avoid or minimize war. We will then compare and contrast a sample of modern cultures for development and change over time with respect to these issues. Co-requisite CLQ 3140.
