Cíle předmětu

This course introduces social science students to evolutionary theory and its application to major theories and topics in international politics. We discuss how evolutionary theory assists international relations theory, permits understanding of the origins of warfare and ethnic conflict, and yields key insights for nuclear deterrence theory and understanding of suicide terrorism in the Islamic fundamentalist context.
