SEST-570 Security Problems in Africa
Spring only
LeSage
By focusing predominantly on the experience in Sub-Saharan Africa, while approaching the region's major security problems from an African
perspective, this course is devoted to analyzing both the functional and regional dimensions of these issues as a means of measuring the success of the various approaches employed to maintain peace and security on the continent. Taught by practitioners, this course will direct its attention to the practical aspects of African security challenges - both traditional and non-traditional - as a platform for evaluating the policy implications of acting and operating in such environments.
Students will be encouraged to formulate useful policy prescriptions for international decision-makers by designing strategies that could be
applied to past, present or possible future conflict scenarios in
Africa. The class will integrate the range of efforts and initiatives
that can taken up at the different stages of the process, in both
political and operational terms. The approach will be interdisciplinary,
and case studies will be used to expose and explore these links. There
will be a special emphasis on practical knowledge that will be useful to students continuing or anticipating work in the field.
