- The International Security in the Modern World program is designed to give students an understanding of some of the fundamental international security issues and their implications for Europe and the world. The course has three core areas which create three unique modules – the first one being energy security, especially in the context of Euroasia; the second area of interests are the conflicts over religion and nationalism, and given its global impact a special attention will be paid to the Middle East; the third module deals with the organized crime, corruption and state failures which brought into European reality especially the fall of the Iron Curtain.
The participants of this course will:
• Come to understand the implications these threats have for European and other countries
• Critically analyse the international organisations (such as the UN and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe) that deal with these issues, and
• Consider how Europe and the world has responded to these issues so far and the international responses that might be required in future for these and future global threats - Osnova
