Course Description
This course analyzes the issues and problems of international security from both traditional and new theoretical approaches. Therefore, it refers both traditional military power-centric security conceptualization and also alternative approaches that focus on the economic, political, societal and environmental dimensions of global security. The explanatory power of these theoretical approaches will be assessed through case studies on the specific country analyses, security complexes in different parts of the world and the core issues in the security communities.
