With the end of the US-American miliary engagement in Afgahnistan, this seminar aims at discussing several wars and their declarations in the United States' history. Covering, among others, the War of Indepencence, the War of 1812, the World Wars and the wars in the 2000s. We will look at how wars are actually defined and what role they play in US-American domestic and foreign politics, how they are justified, who plays important roles in them, and how they end. Exactly which ones will be covered is partly open for discussion and input by the students is encouraged (by email at least one week before classes). One week before the first meeting, an email with suggestions will be sent to the participants, so you can inform yourself and together we will decide which ones will be discussed in the seminar during our first meeting.

Bemerkung |
Wer die erste Sitzung der Lehrveranstaltung versäumt, ohne sich vorher schriftlich oder persönlich zu entschuldigen, kann den Anspruch auf einen Platz in der LV verlieren, wenn es mehr Interessenten als Plätze gibt. Dies gilt ungeachtet der Platzzuweisung durch Friedolin und ist im Einklang mit der grundsätzlichen Aufhebung der Anwesenheitspflicht. |
