The course focuses on non-conventional challenges to contemporary international security. The aim of the module is to study existing and potential threats that are formed in the context of a globalized international system. The module will focus both on the dynamics that develop within states and those that develop on a transnational and extranational level. Specifically, theoretical and practical aspects of phenomena such as “failed” states, internationalized civil conflicts, and international terrorism will be explored. At the same time, drawing examples from the modern era, the broadening of the concept of security to issues such as migration and pandemics will be examined.
