The programme integrates the study of differing types of warfare, from international coalition conflict to civil wars and ‘terrorist’ insurgencies, with close analysis of the effects of such wars on local populations and civil society.
Modules on the programme mirror the research being undertaken by the Department’s Centre for the Study of War, State and Society, which brings together outstanding international scholars whose expertise ranges across economic, social, political, strategic, military and naval history. You will be able to pursue modules that capitalise on new research findings and current debates in the history of conflict, state development and societal breakdown.
