New Directions in Security
Studies
Aims
This course is designed as a post-graduate
level introduction to new directions in the study of security. Since
the late 1980s, there has been a remarkable change in the way security
is conceived, studied and practiced. The academic field of Security
Studies has been the subject of intense academic, intellectual and political
debate during this period. The main aim of this course is to introduce
students to main debates in Security Studies by tracing the development
of Security Studies from its Cold War past to its post-Cold War present
and opening up alternative ways of thinking about the future.
Objectives
The objectives of this course are both
subject-specific and general. General objectives include the development
of oral, written and research skills as the course requires students to
become able to read, absorb and critically assess a significant amount
of complex (and at times contradictory) material. The subject-specific
objectives include developing students’
· understanding of contending approaches
to the study of security;
· knowledge and understanding of the key
literature in the discipline;
· knowledge and understanding of Security
Studies beyond their immediate area of interest;
· ability to analyse contemporary security
policies and practices from a conceptual perspective;
· ability to assess the implications of
adopting critical approaches for the study and practices of security around
the world.
Teaching
Since the course is taught as a post-graduate
level seminar, the onus is on you to read widely around the topics.
The seminars on occasions may include mini lectures designed to introduce
and/or contextualise that week’s topic, but you will be doing most of the
work. My role will be to provide a basic overview of that week’s
topic, offer you contending perspectives on the issues concerned, and seek
to generate a discussion structured around a set of questions. The aim
is to encourage you to think independently and critically whilst remaining
firmly grounded in the knowledge provided by the readings.
The following list is by no means exhaustive. It should rather be viewed as a representative sample of the existing literature. In the pages that follow, you will find a list of required and recommended readings for each week. Our discussions will be based mostly on the required readings. The lists of recommended texts are there to provide a broader context as well as more detail, which may be useful as a starting point and reference for written assignments or future studies. You are advised to do your readings in the order they are presented.
What you should remember at all times is
that good discussions depend on serious preparation by students.
You are strongly encouraged to read the texts carefully and prepare written
answers to the questions to ensure thorough preparation especially in the
first few weeks of the course when you are less experienced in participating
in seminars. It is critical that you do all your readings and come
in ready to take active part in class discussions. This is critical
not only for your own intellectual development but also because participation
is 30% of your overall grade.
Please be reminded that you will only
be in a position to do well in your assignments if you have attended the
classes and read the literature (all of the required texts plus some of
the recommended ones). Coming to the classes prepared is necessary
not only because this constitutes a part of your assessment, but also because
this will help you understand the course material much better so that you
would be in a very strong position to do well in your exams/assignments.
You are required to attend all the classes
(in accordance with the University regulations). If you cannot attend
please let me know beforehand, or contact me (immediately) afterwards to
provide a ‘legitimate’ excuse for your absence. Attendance will be
taken and absences will be noted.
Assessment
30% of your assessment will be based on
in-class participation. This will take the form of participating in class
discussions, which will be structured around questions that will be provided
in advance (i.e. questions that you will have time to prepare for). You
will be expected to demonstrate evidence of having read and thought about
that week’s topic.
30% of your assessment will be based on a summary report on the readings of the week that you are assigned. Each student will be assigned the duty of acting as a rapporteur for one week. You are expected to prepare a draft report on the required readings for that week before the seminar. You are encouraged to consult some of the recommended sources as well. Your report should not just synthesize the information provided in the readings but also discuss the readings themselves. You are also encouraged to take an active part in the seminar of the week you are assigned. Taking an active part may take the form of preparing questions for discussion (and e-mailing them to the rest of the group), responding to other students’ questions, and/or discussing the different points raised in the recommended readings. This should help you to develop your presentation and argumentation skills as well. After the seminar, you are expected to make changes in your report integrating the points raised in the discussion and e-mail it to me by the end of that week (17:30 latest). I will then e-mail that report to the rest of the group. Your report will be graded and you will receive written feedback from me.
40% of your assessment will be based on
a research paper. You are expected to formulate your own research
question and submit a research proposal indicating your topic (my topic
is…), your research question (I will seek to answer….) and why you are
interested in this topic (I am interested in this topic because…).
Once I approve that proposal, you are expected to write a 1500-2000 word
research paper. Please feel free to consult me regarding research
topics as well as sources. Your topic as well as research question
should be closely related to the issues discussed in seminars. When
grading your paper, I will be looking for evidence of grasp of the literature
covered in class. Finally, please note that I am likely to reject
those research papers whose proposals I have not approved. The research
paper is due on May 27, 2003, 17:30.
