Being a classic subject of International Relations, security has long been approached solely from the point of view of the government. However, it cannot be reduced to its military dimension. Since it lies at the heart of all social relations, security covers a broad spectrum that goes far beyond defense issue.
This course hence deals with the different theoretical approaches to security. Il covers the redefinition of strategy in the context of hybrid warfare, and looks at new ways of waging war. It also considers non-military security issues, such as health and environment.
Objectives
- a good knowledge of the main theories of International Relations
