Course Description:
The course will introduce students to a broader, alternative, conception of “security,” one which concerns not only states and the international system, but also people in their everyday lives. It will examine what the analytical and policy implications would be of looking at contemporary security threats from an individual perspective. The course will cover the applications of the concept by international organizations in debates about interventions and by states as a foreign policy tool; as well as measurements, both qualitative and quantitative, and complex indicators. It will employ concrete examples, case studies, and interactive exercises in order to contextualize the approaches and tools, and highlight linkages between theory and practice. The course officers also practical skills in terms of presentations, field work and interview skills. Students will have the chance to conduct interviews with refugees in Paris and gather their human insecurity “stories” in groups which they will then present
