JPM408 War StudiesMgr. George Hays IIhaysg2@yahoo.comOffice Hours: Wednesday 9:30-11:00 J3010COURSE OBJECTIVES:The course offers an introduction and a basic orientation in the IR theoretical thinking about war. TEACHING METHODS:The course consists of six seminars. Each seminar will be introduced by the tutor, but the prevailing course activities rest with the students. Each of the students is expected to read the required documents and literature and be actively involved in the seminar discussions. To this end, each student must prepare a short work covering the literature assigned for the seminar; which should also be used in class as notes from which to base discussion. At the end of the semester, students submit an essay on one of the seminar topics. CREDIT REQUIREMENTS:Full credit for the course is composed equally of three parts:1. Class attendance and participation2. Seminar works3. Final essayClass Attendance and Participation:Students are allowed one absence during the semester. Any further absences will lower the student's grade. Documented illness and other extreme situations are exceptions to this.Participating in class is one of the best ways to gain an understanding of the course topic and material. Participation is premised on having read the assignments for that particular day and actively engaging in the class discussion. Participation does not mean speaking for the sake of speaking, asking questions that are off-topic, criticizing another person for not understanding something, carrying on a private conversation with another student. Participation does mean contributing thoughtfully to the conversation or debate, asking questions if something is not understood, honestly attempting to answer a question even if you are not sure you are correct.Seminar Works:The seminar works should be a maximum 900 words long and should be submitted by email on the Sunday before the seminar (EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST SEMINAR, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT DUE). In the email, write your name and "War Studies." Don't forget to put your name on the assignment itself, also.These are not essays. They are short summaries and analyses about the readings. Do not waste space with Introductions and Conclusions and general essay structure. While you should not use essay structure, YOU MUST WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES.Provide three parts.Part 1.Write a brief paragraph summarizing the argument of each reading at the beginning of the seminar work. Part 2.After the part containing all of the summaries, write a brief critique. This critique should cover the strengths, weaknesses, similarities and differences of all the readings together as they relate to each other. Part 3.After this, write your personal thoughts concerning these texts. For example: What do you agree with? disagree with? value? Are there any problems? Is what they say still applicable to today? Is there something you did not understand? End this section with at least two points/questions for discussion in the seminar.Final Essay:The essay needs to be 5000 words in length and based on one of the seminar topics. It is due by 22:00 (10:00pm), December 23.SEMINAR TOPICS AND READINGS:1. The Classical Concept of WarClausewitz, Carl von (2005) What is War? In: Diehl, Paul F., ed., War, vol. I.
