The primary objective of this course is to equip students with a set of theoretical and analytical tools that will enable them to critically and rigorously examine and analyze the transformations that, over the past few decades, have reshaped the constellation of actors, institutions, and threats that make up international security. What is the meaning of the concept of security? What should be protected? By whom? How and by what means? Through which theoretical and conceptual lenses can we scientifically study this issue and its multiple ramifications?
Objectives
1. Understand the origins and development of security studies and peace studies
2. Analyze, map, and discuss the proliferation of security concepts and the different manifestations of violence
3. Become familiar with the main theoretical approaches in security studies
4. Understand, at an introductory level, the major areas of the international security agenda
