WS500:THE THEORIES OF WAR FROM THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT
This course is an in-depth study of the modern interpretations of warfare, including Clausewitz, Jomini, Hamley, Moltke, Schlieffen, and Foch.There will be course work on geopolitical and maritime doctrines of war by Mackinder, Haushofer, Mahan, and Corbett. The course examines doctrines of armoured and air warfare such as Fuller, Hart, and Douhet. Developments of military technology since 1945 and their impact on strategic thinking, the theories of deterrence, revolutionary and guerrilla war, disarmament and arms controls, and the international law of war, are also examined.

WS502:WAR, POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
This course examines the interlocking patterns of international politics and war. The traditional approach to international relations will be studied, as well as the more recent systems’ analysis. The topics considered will include existing international organizations, problems of disarmament, arms control and peacekeeping, and governmental co-operation in wartime.

WS568: CASE STUDIES IN REGIONAL ANALYSIS
This course takes a crisis-centred approach to introduce students to the May-Neustadt model of analysis (the Harvard model). This time-line technique is now widely used throughout the United States government. Regional case studies (for instance, Central America, South America, north, central or southern Africa, the Middle East, and south, south-east, or east Asia) will be chosen for each student to work through and present analysis based on open sources.

They aren’t offering any of the cool SpecOps/Assymetric Warfare courses at the Kingston Campus this year… and everyone has to take WS500. I am looking forward to WS568, but might drop out of WS502 and pick something else up in the summer. I have also got to take some time to figure out the course-load, as I want to work on the side and get back to training.
