Что принесло окончание Холодной войны? Мир или хаос?
Будет ли Америка играть доминирующую роль в мировой политике или наступает ее закат?
Действительно ли военое могущество является ключевым компонентом в мировом доминировании или экономика становится важнее?
Нужно ли США играть роль "мирового полицейского" или им следует снизить свое влияние в военных аспектах по всему миру?
Этот курс рассматривает истоки мировых конфликтов XX века и ставит вопрос предназначено ли Истории повторить это снова.

Will the end of the Cold War bring peace and harmony or war and chaos?
Is America going to play a dominant role in international affairs or is the U.S. in decline?
Is military power still the key to world leadership or has economic power become more important?
Should the U.S. attempt to play the role of global police force or should we withdraw from our overseas military commitments?
Professor Joseph S. Nye, Jr., the Dean of The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, addresses these issues in this study of international politics.
This course examines the origins of the great conflicts of our century and asks if history is doomed to repeat them.
Twice in the first half of this century, nearly all the great powers engaged in wars that killed nearly 70 million people. During the past 50 years, the Cold War has dominated our lives and international politics.
The aftermath of each war shook the international political system, changed the maps of the world, and set the scene for the next great conflict.
The series examines how concepts like the balance of power and the international system interweave with history. It asks what actually happened in these great conflicts, so we can better evaluate if we are destined to repeat them.
