Civil war is by far the most common form of armed conflict in the contemporary world. Internal wars, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, are also central to the major foreign policy debates in the United States and the United Nations.

The second half of the class examines external actors' role in civil war, such as financial support to governments or insurgents, armed interventions, and peacekeeping missions.
