Military and Diplomatic History Concentration

This concentration will focus on the “New Military History” and an expansive diplomatic history in academic scholarship, integrating the traditional emphasis on strategy, tactics, battlefield operations, and diplomatic relations with a broader and more inclusive approach towards understanding war and diplomacy. Students will consider themes such as imperialism, neo-colonialism, ancient and modern state-building, transnational and trans-regional connections, and the role of social, cultural, and environmental factors in military and diplomatic history. Many of the courses do not require
previous knowledge and are designed to enable students of diverse intellectual backgrounds to better connect past events
with current affairs globally as military and diplomatic history remain highly relevant to the world of today and tomorrow.
