GOVT 85.29 Lessons from America's Foreign Wars

This course surveys prominent studies of America’s foreign wars, including conflicts in Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. We will examine how political scientists have attempted to inform public debates about these wars, how those experiences have shaped broader conceptions of politics and armed conflict, and how many (or how few) lessons we can draw from these controversial experiences.
