POL 410 - Global Development and Security Studies3 Credits
Offered Spring and Summer
Part of the Learning Inside-Out Network (LION) program on Global Development and Security Studies, the course examines two often competing understandings of security. The traditional approach defines security purely as political-military defense of a state and its territory. Human security as an alternative highlights the economic welfare of individuals and their immediate communities. It departs from traditional formulations of security by stressing the social and economic causes of insecurity, often internal to states. Issues covered in the course range from environmental degradation, crime, armed conflict, poverty and economic disparities.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): By application only. No other prerequisites required, but prior background in international politics, criminology or economics is encouraged.
