POS 2069 THE NEW INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
What is the New International Security? This course's primary objective is to examine questions and issues surrounding international security. While we will begin by thinking about traditional security questions, we will also ask if the growth of globalization and changes in the role of the nation-state has altered the way that we think and respond to problems of security. The course will first discuss the role of power and the projection of power in creating insecurity; then we will move on to newer types of threats, like weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. We will also examine the problems of ethnic conflict, migration and environmental changes as potential security threats. Finally, we will discuss the possible responses available to the United States and the international community in dealing with these new problems leading to insecurity in the global society.
