Professor Loughlin Presents Paper

Dr. Loughlin presented his paper "Is America Still Hooked on War 'Under Obama'?" to the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists that was held on the ONU campus Saturday October 13th. 

This paper was a continuation of Dr. Loughlin's paper "Is America Hooked on War?" that he delivered to the Current Issues in Foreign Policy and National Security conference at Tiffin University in 2010. 

Loughlin argued that their is little difference between parties in their actions abroad in the War on Terror, and that the fact that those who argue for an aggressive use of force are usually labelled "conservatives" is mere advertising, since the military, industrial, counterterrorism, university, media complex benefits from scare tactics and perpetual war.
