Security and Development

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course will examine a selected set of critical interrelated subjects and current issues that lie at the security-development nexus, from historical-empirical, analytical, policy, and moral perspectives. Consistent with the foregoing LSP goals, the required reading assignments, class discussions, and major research paper(s) seek to foster analytical thinking, comparative study, interdisciplinarity, and humanistic values-based assessments of the nettlesome security-development nexus in global perspective, particularly in developing countries and the related policies pursued by their governments and external actors.
