STIA-374 Enviornmental Security

STIA-374 Enviornmental Security
Spring only
King, M
The concept of national security has long been used to describe the motivations for interactions between states. In a globalized, post-Cold War era, national security has been increasingly applied to interactions between humans and their environment. This application has both expanded and changed conventional understandings of national security.

The term environmental security has been coined as a result of these developments leading to a rich scholarly debate over its meaning. Through readings and seminar discussions the student will explore and understand various dimensions and applications of national security concepts as they related to the environment. Using phenomenon such as climate change, the course examines the growing connection between environmental scarcity, competition for natural resources and conflict in key regions of the world. Readings are drawn from multidisciplinary sources and current affairs.
