This course analyses the complex relationships that lie at the heart of the development-security relationship in the Global South.

You'll explore:

how cycles of insecurity and violence affect development
difficulties faced by various organisations negotiating spirals of violence and insecurity (for example during armed intervention, aid provision, peace-building processes or postconflict reconstruction)
whether underdevelopment in the Global South facilitates the international spread of terrorist and criminal networks.

We have an interdisciplinary perspective on questions of peace, vulnerability and insecurity, giving you a distinctive grounding in concepts of conflict, security and development.
