Critical Security Studies: An Introduction (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Wolfgang Minatti
Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 13.10.2025 - 30.01.2026 | C 14.201 Seminarraum
Inhalt: What is security? How are we securing ourselves against contemporary threats? And are we truly making ourselves more secure? This course introduces students to the study of (critical) security politics and presents a variety of methodological and thematic angles on what security is and how it can be conceptualised. Starting with traditional approaches to international security, the course focuses on several critical theories of security. Students will explore the role of discourse, gender, and reflexivity in relation to topics ranging from war and global health to international cooperation and migration.
Economic Drivers of Armed Conflicts (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Hana Attia
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 13.10.2025 - 30.01.2026 | C 14.202 Seminarraum
Inhalt: What explains violent intrastate and interstate conflicts? This seminar analyses the causes and consequences of armed conflicts. It focuses on the influence of economic factors on the onset of armed disputes as economic factors have played a central role in classical theories of the onset of war and peace. We start by introducing well-established theories and concepts such as ‘relative deprivation’, ‘grievance’, ‘greed’ to discuss how economic development, poverty and inequality are linked to the onset of violence. Moreover, we also learn about how economic integration, protectionism, sovereign debt and the natural resource endowment of a state influence the risk of interstate and intrastate violence. Finally, this seminar will also discuss the short- and long-term economic consequences of armed conflicts before it concludes by introducing alternatives to the use of force in interstate disputes.
