Well this diary is not going to be very informative so much as it is going to be me putting in writing what I might try and write diaries on. Currently I am a major in International Relations and very interested in conflict studies. I will more or less use this diary to post things still being learned or what I read/research. Either to get opinions or to just inform for those who want to know more. A lot of my individual research will be along the lines of Democratic Peace Theory, Huntington's Clash of Civilizations (a book which I think pundits in the media use as a rhetorical tool without having actually read.), and theoretical ideas to reconcile the two.
As for now though classes start again in 2 days and I am still slogging through Political Order in Changing Societies.
