Peace and Conflict Studies 301 - Human Security

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

Staff Since the end of the Cold War, students of world politics have begun to re-examine many of the key concepts that informed the work of defense and policy intellectuals in the past. Key among these is the concept of "security," which chiefly referred to the safety of states (national security) or to the protection of the international system itself (international security). This course is organized into two parts. The first section examines the history of the concepts of security in the political and policy spheres, culminating with the UN Commission on Human Security's 2003 Report. The second part studies various aspects of the current human security concept, by focusing on case studies in environmental security, human rights, and humanitarian intervention. Prerequisites: at least two of the following course s: PEAC 111, 21 8, or 22 5, or by permission of the instructor
