Greetings!

(Quick outline of Module – Security and Insecurity in Global Politics is a module covering a range of conceptual, empirical and policy issues around the global organisation of ‘security’, broadly understood. It is not a module on war, although we do discuss varieties of political and organised violence. The main focus is instead on different theoretical framings of security, the history of security as an idea and a practice, and several of the many contemporary spheres of security. )
