About the course
The on-going wave of globalisation has changed the character of threats to human, national and international security. The present security discourse stands in major contrast to the traditional realist understanding of security that prevailed during the Cold War. With the shifting of international political environment in recent years, a broader concept of security began to gain acceptance, which includes socio-economic-environmental challenges. The aim of this course is to familiarise students with these emerging theories and themes in security studies. The course examines the causes of these non-military threats like climate change, food and health security and global migration issues with a focus on practical measures to address them. This course provides sophisticated insights into both traditional and emergent perspectives on security studies. The course helps to expose the students to a comprehensive overview of the new security discussion, establishing the case for the broader agenda. In additional to theory, a number of empirical studies of emerging new threats to global security are presented and analysed.
