International Security - PICT901
Since the end of the Cold War, an expanded concept of security has been unavoidable given the challenges that have accompanied rapid globalisation and advances in technology. As a result there has been a growing global concern about new sources of non-traditional security threats. These new threats, coupled with ongoing more traditional concerns, have significantly transformed the international security environment, and have thereby obfuscated traditional assumptions about security. This unit consequently provides a comprehensive overview of the dominant constructs of security; compares and contrasts several different but overlapping approaches and examines the transformation stemming from the new security challenges.
