Sessional Lecturer-Y Strategy and Statecraft (Toronto)

Sessional Lecturer– HIS103Y1-Y Strategy and Statecraft: War, Diplomacy, and the Development of the International System, 1600–1945

This course explores the history of the international state system, encouraging students to consider how this system has been constantly adapting and evolving for hundreds of years as states compete for power. It examines how wars between European states, along with diplomacy, empire‑building, and the quest for wealth, led—unintentionally in many ways—to a broader, international system not confined only to European “outstanding powers.” Students will study themes such as strategy and war, empire and imperialism, and trade, diplomacy, and state‑building to understandthe rise and fall of major states and empires over the centuries.Key Events Covered
