| 857-0003-00L | Introduction to Security Studies Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 15 MACIS Studierende haben Priorität. | 4 KP | 2S | M. Dunn Cavelty, U. Jasper, M. Leese | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course focuses on how the concept of security and security studies as a subfield of international relations have evolved from the Cold War to today's 'globalized' security environment. It looks at the changing landscape of threats that states and societies face, the way states organize themselves to confront these threats, and how security studies' theories can explain these developments. | ||||
| Lernziel | The aim of the course is to promote a critical engagement with a wide range of empirical and theoretical literature in Security Studies and by applying this theoretical material to contemporary developments in world politics. By the end of the course students should be able to understand competing contemporary definitions and theories of security and to formulate academically informed opinions about contemporary security issues and policy. | ||||
| Inhalt | This course draws upon a variety of theoretical perspectives in security studies to analyze the complex ways in which the world order has been threatened during and after the Cold War. To this end, the first part of the course concentrates on traditional approaches to security, while the second provides students with an overview of approaches that have ‘broadened’ and ‘deepened’ the concept of security: away from military concerns to include economic, societal, and environmental sectors, and away from the state towards notions of global and human security. | ||||
| Skript | The seminar is an opportunity to explore in depth particular issues and to engage in discussions in a small group. Students will be expected to contribute to such discussions and present short position papers. Most importantly, students will also be expected to engage in continuous independent study. | ||||
| Literatur | All texts will be available online. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Class will only take place with a minimum of 5 students and is limited to approx. 15 participants. MACIS students are given priority. | ||||
| 857-0098-00L | Technology Governance and International Security Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 15 MACIS Studierende haben Priorität. | 8 KP | 2S | M. Dunn Cavelty | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | This research seminar at the intersection between Security Studies and Science and Technology Studies focuses on how sociotechnical innovations (cyberspace, chemical and biological agents and robots) impact security politics and military strategy, and will look at the possibilities and limitations for international governance and arms control, with specific attention on the challenge of 'dual-use' | ||||
| Lernziel | The aim of this course is to introduce students to fundamental concepts from Science and Technology Studies and Security Studies that are useful in understanding current issues in national security. In specific, they will learn to understand how technological innovation impacts security politics and military strategy, with a particular focus on the issue of 'dual-use'. Students will learn about national technostrategic projects such as strategic bombing, the creation of cyberspace, the weaponization of chemical and biological agents, and the move towards 'Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems'. Furthermore, students will learn about problems and solutions for the international governance of technologies and arms control. By the conclusion of the course, students should be able to frame problems related to technology and security in an analytical framework that makes clear their complexity as well as the points at which policy might intervene successfully. | ||||
