War Studies
War Studies is a social science whose central object of study is war and the use of force.
The discipline contains research on how military capability is created, led, organized, maintained over time and comes into effect in operations, in wars, conflicts and crises.
War Studies also includes social and ethical aspects as well as critical perspectives in relation to war and warfare. The discipline has both a general theoretical and knowledge-based dimension, as well as a practical and applied dimension linked primarily to the education of officers.
The Swedish Defence University is the only university in Sweden where the discipline is taught.
