The end of the Cold War has brought an expansion of concepts in the field of Security Studies. As a result, Security Studies came to deal with more issues than ever, such as transnational organized crimes and environmental issues alongside with traditional issues of wars, disputes and conflicts. In addition, the progress of globalization made more issues become “international” problems, for instance, terrorism which used to be a domestic issue, but now it is an international concern. Why more things are studied in the field of security? What has influenced on such changes? Do we have any answer to solve the issues? This course indents to investigate issues in international society, and analyze its implications to states concerned and to international society using theoretical approaches in International Relations. In order to do it, this course will touch upon the areas of traditional security (wars) and of non-traditional security (international terrorism and transnational organized crimes, etc.) with some theories, particularly Realism and social constructivism. By the end of the course students should have some deepened knowledge on the application of theories to analyze security issues, have formed their opinions in a logical and academic manner, and have increased awareness in the issues international society is facing.
Lectures are one way of suppling information – food for thoughts. Students are not expected to agree everything on what I say in the lecturer, and expected to form their own opinion beased on the information presented in the lecuters and research they have done for the class. The opinions, however, need to be formed in an objective, logical and academic manner, not in a subjective and emotional one. What important in forming opinion and discussions for essay is to examine the issue from different perspectives for different possibilities, and to consider carefully about one’s prejudices and biases.
