Outline (in English)

Who secures safety of whom from what kinds of threats and how? -- Concept of security has changed with the times. The objective of this course is to know the changes in security concepts from the historical perspective and to learn "securitization theory." With the end of the Cold War era, the international community met the decrease in interstate conflicts but the increase in intrastate conflicts originated from religious/ethnic frictions. And states have faced newly-emerged threats, so-called non-military issues or "non-traditional" security issues which include infectious diseases, environment degradation, and displaced persons. States recognize those non-traditional issues as“threats”to their national safety, and politicize them, and then securitize them by formulating national policies. This course analyzes non-traditional issues by using securitization theory to know usefulness and limitations of the theory.
