The Center for War Studies at the University of Southern Denmark was established in 2011 to build a high profile, high quality research pole in the field of war studies. The Center brings together a broad range of disciplines in order to understand how wars break out, how they can be managed, and how they may be ended to make peace possible.
War studies address many types of wars and conflicts: it could be world wars but also humanitarian intervention, piracy, and terrorism. The field of war studies is open to people like you for several reasons:
- It is problem-driven: it focuses on real cases of human conflict and war.
- It is interdisciplinary: it brings together a wide range of tools in the understanding of conflict and war.
- It is pragmatic: it seeks knowledge that is useful.
The Center for War Studies at the University of Southern Denmark hosts the disciplines of International Relations and International Law. It will reach out to area studies, history, and any discipline which can bring insight into its domain. Research at the Center is problem-driven: it favours no particular theory or methodology. Collaboration is based on particular themes which connect researchers who come from different disciplines but have convergent research interests.
The vision of the Center for War Studies is to build a high profile, high quality research pole in the field of war studies. The Center aims to:
- Publish in the top international journals and with the best publishing houses.
- Attract and retain top scholars by way of its connections to other research units at the University of Southern Denmark and to similar international research centres.
- Support the Master in International Security and Law as well as other political science and law programs by means of its interdisciplinary research.
- Contribute to the public knowledge of the meaning and impact of war in the modern age.
