  • IP 520: Internatlional Security

    3.00 Credits
    Arcadia University

    The purpose of this course is to provide a thorough and in-depth analysis of international security issues, themes, theories and cases. We will examine security from three levels of analysis: the international system, state and domestic level politics and individual decision-makers. Within each level of analysis we will study various theories used to explain the sources of instability and stability in order to understand what drives state and actor behavior in terms of: foreign policy, war, cooperation, and expansion. We will also look at central themes in international security and a few cases where theories can be applied to help us understand crises, conflicts and instability. We will address questions like: what are the main threats to international security? How are these threats addressed or not by states and international actors? Why do states have, or not, nuclear weapons, and what role do international organizations and none-state actors play in security?

    Conflict is a normal and an inevitable part of our daily lives. It is present in most personal relationships, in homes, in schools, in the workplace, and among groups in our society.

Conflict presents an opportunity for personal change and transformation, strengthened relationships, improved communications, problem solving, collaboration, and social change. How conflict is managed influences whether conflict outcomes are constructive or destructive.
