See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis unit examines policy responses to security threats at the global, regional, national and local levels. The course is situated at the intersection of public policy analysis, security politics and security challenges. A key feature of this of this course is to analyse political conflicts over such as issues as climate change, water security, border security and migration. Which solutions are available and how effective are they? Whose voices are heard when designing these solutions? Why are certain voices marginalized? How is this reflected in policy, and how is security constructed and produced? Students will learn to how to define, critique and assess security issues, analyse the social forces and interests that shape various policy responses to security challenges, and explore (alternative) policies to deal with them. This requires effective and practical policy frameworks underpinned by strong evidence, practical methods, and a theory of change. Making use of case studies to explore the political dynamics of security policies, the unit will equip students with policy skills to analyses and respond to a wide range of security challenges.
