POLT 245 - Human Security

HC SSCI CD

2 credits
How does the international political system affect human well-being? Can institutions and norms of human rights, international justice, and conflict prevention protect people from the effects of economic inequity, environmental degradation, and war? The course addresses these questions, and examines whether the concept of human security offers a viable alternative to national security.
