Globalization essay writing services Part 1: Security and the Changing Nature of War and Conflict

In the previous week, we explored anarchy and the causes of war. It was discussed that states are taken by many theorists to be primarily concerned with their security. But what is security? How is it measured and how is it achieved? In this seminar we explore the concept of security and also examine international security in the post-Cold War era. Recently, international security has been marked by two key phenomena: technological innovation and the changing face of warfare, and the emergence of a range of what might be termed ‘non-traditional’ security issues that have increasingly captured the attention of both policymakers and academics.

Seminar Questions:

a). Is Clausewitz’s theory of war still relevant today? How have thinkers argued it has changed and are there arguments persuasive?

b). To what extent has technology changed war?

c). In your view, has technological innovation in warfare enhanced or diminished international security?

d). Why is the concept of security contested?

e). What is ‘critical’ about critical security approaches? Are they practical?

f). What are the main threats to security in the contemporary global order? Why are these threats more serious than others?
