Lectures focus on international security issues including biological weapons, conventional warfare, environmentally-caused conflict, nuclear terrorism, and on the causes of global violence including forced migration, population growth, poverty, and underdevelopment. We discuss using deterrence, diplomacy, peacekeeping, and international organizations, like the UN and NATO to avert global violence.
