View Academic Calendar
This course addresses the implications that national missile defense systems may pose to the global balance of power. Is a missile defense system technically feasible, could such a system be stabilizing, destabilizing? These are all questions that this course will examine. The course will further examine how such a system might be deployed and employed, and how national policy may be affected.
