International Security - PICT901
The unit provides a comprehensive overview of the social construction of international security and compares and contrasts several different but overlapping theoretical and thematic approaches to international security that have recently arisen. Since the end of the Cold War, broader and deeper concepts of security have been unavoidable, given the limitations of realism and the challenges that have accompanied rapid globalisation and increased global disorder. As a result, there has been a growing concern about new drivers of non-traditional transnational security challenges. These new international security challenges, coupled with ongoing more traditional concerns, have significantly transformed the international security environment, and brought into question traditional state-centric assumptions about security.
