Economics and National Security

Course Description

Pre-Requisite(s): One course in international relations, history, or economics

Explores the connections between economics and national security from three angles.

Second, what are the economic causes of the rise and decline of great powers? Third, what are the economic roots of great power imperialism against smaller states?
