Territorial Conflict: Course Description
It's known that territory is one of the major causes of dispute between people or states. But why do some disputes escalate into war while others are resolved? This free OpenCourseWare, developed by Professor M. Taylor Fravel, strives to gain insight into the many questions surrounding this issue. This course explores empirical research, theoretical writings and historical examples, such as the Falklands and the Algerian-Moroccan conflicts, in order to gain a better understanding of territorial fighting. Students examine territorial conflict through comprehensive reading, analytical thinking and both qualitative and quantitative research. This seminar was originally offered through the Political Science Department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
'Territorial Conflict' includes a calendar, a detailed reading list and additional online resources. If you're interested in taking this free OpenCourseWare, visit the global geopolitics course page.
