INTS2003: War and its Legacy

2026 unit information

Focusing on the Cold War, we examine how the last century's conflicts have continued into the present. Beginning with the events of 9/11, we analyse the nature of different kinds of conflicts and who the participants are, with a focus on Asia. We look at the nature of reconciliation and historical commemoration in ending or perpetuating conflicts.
