DHP P232: Technological Innovation and International Security
Tufts graduate course
Technological innovation has long had important implications for international security, from the longbow and the internal combustion engine to the aircraft and the carrier. This class studies the impact of technological innovations on international security. The aim of the course is to equip students with analytical frameworks useful for thinking about the causes and consequences of technological innovation for international security, technical literacy in key legacy and emerging military technologies, and an understanding of the impact of these technologies for patterns of interstate conflict, competition, and cooperation.
DHP D272: U.S.-China Security Relations
Tufts graduate course
China’s rise is arguably the most important development of the 21st century and relations between the United States and China touch on every aspect of international affairs, from addressing climate change and responding to global pandemics to limiting the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting economic development. Relations between these two countries have the potential to touch every element of international affairs. In recent years, U.S.-China relations have become increasingly “securitized,” meaning that security considerations dominate. This course provides a survey of these relations today. While the course includes historical elements and considers how both China and the United States interact with the rest of the world, this course is strongly focused on contemporary security issues in the bilateral relationship.
