International Security

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course will introduce students to the study of security in international relations. The course will begin by considering international conflict drawing from prominent theories of international relations. The course will then explore more specific conceptual approaches to studying the behavior of actors involved in, affected by, or in positions to potentially avert conflict. The concepts introduced in this course will be paired with recent (or still ongoing) case studies that will assist students in applying them to the study of contemporary international security affairs.
