The aim of this course is to provide an advanced introduction to the fields of international security studies in general, and issues of European security specifically. The first part of the course focuses on the development of security studies, theories and concepts of security, and the relation between concepts of power and security. This is to prepare for further analysis of contemporary security issues, in a global, regional, and specifically European context. An important objective is to provide a capability for critical evaluation of security related problems in international and European relations.
