This course will examine from the perspective of the last two centuries that followed the Industrial
Revolution, the impact of scientific and technological change on the global national security
environment. Specifically this course will examine the hypothesis that there have been several
“revolutions in military affairs” in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that emerged as
competitive ways of war that profoundly altered the global security environment. Particular emphasis
will be given as to how the United States has or has not successfully adapted to the periods of rapid
military technological change that emerged during the nineteenth and twentieth century and how these
lessons might be applied to our current twenty first century global security environment.
