MIR509

Course Description

This course provides the foundations for analyzing the enduring questions of regional and international security. The course develops the analytic tools that are useful for understanding how the regional or international environments generate threats and opportunities for states. The course covers a broad spectrum of traditional and non- traditional security issues (non-military and human security) examined from a regional and global context. The field of security issues is no longer limited to traditional security threats such as military threats, terrorism, law enforcement and critical infrastructure protection; it also includes non-traditional security threats such as humanitarian intervention, economic security, and environmental security. This postgraduate program, also, examines the theoretical and conceptual frameworks that tend to explain geopolitical security issues and interests.
