授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | This course aims at understanding and examining traditional and contemporary security issues through engaging with concepts and theories of security. We will first recap basic theories of International Relations. We will then further analyze specific security challenges relying on the conceptual and theoretical perspectives.
Throughout the course, students will discuss what causes security issues, how to deal with these issues, and why it is difficult to resolve them. They will participate in small and large group discussions, simulations, debates, and other interactive activities to enhance their understanding and critical thinking skills. Prior to each class, students will be expected to have completed the week's required readings. During the class, students will be required to participate in the class activities. |
