Description

This course considers the nature of security and security studies in the context of global politics. Attention is given to contending theoretical perspectives, the role of strategic culture in defining interests, globalisation, the changing nature of deadly conflict, the dilemmas of weak states, the growing desperation of the world's poor, and ethnic conflict. The course also takes a particular interest in non-military cross border threats such as environmental degradation and change, migration, drugs and other issues that influence how security is understood.
