| Course Title: Global Security |
| Start Date: 10/21/2020 End Date: 12/14/2020 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2020 |
| Description: This course explores different conceptions of security, its study and practice. Incorporating diverse approaches, particularly from the global south, we will consider sources of global insecurity, ethics of "securitization" and the prospects for equitable and sustainable solutions to issues of common concern. Topics include "hard" security issues, namely, geopolitical competition, interstate conflicts, civil wars, and weapons of mass destruction, as well as security issues defined more broadly, for example: climate change, migration and displacement, pandemics, and hybrid warfare. We conclude by looking at the role of international and regional institutions in global governance. |
