DESCRIPTION:Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs present:Hein Goemans\,&nbs
 p\;Associate Professor\, Political Science\, University of RochesterWar fr
 om the Ground UpWhy are citizens willing to sacrifice for their homeland? 
 An essential fact of warfare in the modern era is that individual citizens
  are called upon to contribute to the war effort. The willingness of citiz
 ens to sacrifice and fight for the homeland presents an especially importa
 nt problem since territorial conflict is the deadliest form of internation
 al conflict. Why then are citizens willing to sacrifice\, fight and die fo
 r their homeland? In the vast literature on war\, this question is complet
 ely ignored. To answer it\, I first ask and answer a series of additional 
 critical questions: Why are individuals willing to fight for homeland terr
 itory\, but not for other territory? How do individuals know what constitu
 tes their homeland? Why does it matter? To what extent are leaders constra
 ined by their citizens’ conceptions of the homeland? The answers to these 
 questions hopefully fit together to not only explain why citizens are will
 ing to sacrifice for their homeland\, but together form the basis for an i
 ndividual-level theory of international conflict.Sponsored by Moynihan Ins
 titute of Global Affairs and&nbsp\;Sovereignty\, Order and ConflictFor mor
