This module will give you a critical understanding of security studies that goes beyond the disciplinary boundaries of International Relations. You will question the meaning of security, its referent objects and issues, and how security is supposed to be achieved. You will engage with various theoretical approaches to security, ranging from the realist tradition and game theory to peace studies and critical theory. You will also explore contemporary security challenges, such as counterterrorism, migration and human security.
