International Security
Spring 2013, POLS 3408
This course will analyze the theoretical and policy components of
international security in the modern global landscape, looking at the
fundamental problems of security and how interactions in the 21st
century are shaping how these problems might manifest themselves in
the future. We will look at major forces in the world that impact
security, such as civil conflict, terrorism, and
nationalism, as well as emerging and long-term issues that have led to an enlargement
of the concept of security, such as climate change, global health, and
cybersecurity. As special cases we will study the regional security
situations in the Middle East and East Asia and the global impact of
these complex security dynamics. This course will take an
international view of these issues, rather than simply a
U.S. perspective, focusing on the role of multilateral institutions,
international norms, and widespread interdependence as we seek to
understand and strengthen international security.
