Course Title:
Critical Global Security Studies
Course Number:
POL00077I
Course Description:
It delves into fundamental controversies in security debates, such as: the relationship between security and emancipation; the importance of gender in security analysis; border politics; and the place of the individual in conceptualisations of security. It highlights the diverse disciplinary and methodological approaches which have informed the development of the field, from sociology to International Relations. In addition to exploring traditional security concerns such as military build-up through a critical lens, it maps some of the diverse issues brought into the remit of security studies by the ‘broadening’ and ‘deepening’ engendered by the move to criticality and, as such, explores what critical engagements can help us to understand about the most pressing security problems of our era: terrorism; energy security; climate change; migration; global health and disease; transnational criminal networks; and gender-based violence.
