International Security - PICT901
This unit provides a comprehensive overview of the dominant constructs of security and compares and contrasts several different but overlapping approaches that stem from these constructs. 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 examines this transformation and provides clarification for students undertaking international security studies.
