A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Theories on the causes of war

Theories on the causes of war explain why wars begin by looking at human nature, state behaviour, international structures, economic interests, and ideas. For examination purposes, you must be able to distinguish the main theories, state their assumptions clearly, and compare how each theory explains the same conflict differently.
