Foundations of Modern Security - PICX601
As a multidisciplinary field, security studies has broadened and deepened its area of academic analysis since the end of the Cold War. This unit serves to introduce students to the core concepts and methods employed in this field, as well as key critical debates and theoretical approaches. It uses the concept of 'modern security' to critically examine a wide range of differing modes of academic discourse relating to domestic and international security challenges. While presenting a historical and thematic account of approaches to modern security, the unit examines the complexity of security within the globalised world, presenting and contrasting Australian, regional and international perspectives.
