Global Security

Catalog description

This course approaches security from a global perspective, discussing security issues that transcend borders. Modern challenges such as pandemics, climate change and human migration are nontraditional and transnational, requiring coordinated action amongst states. However, the course also explores the return of 'classic' security issues directly related to power competition and interstate war. The course will introduce students to relevant International Relations theory and key issues such as health security, environmental security, energy security, and human security.
