自冷战结束以来，人们日益意识到全球个人，社区和国家所面临的安全威胁的不断变化的性质。随着经济，政治，文化和军事全球化的加剧，人们对恐怖主义和国际犯罪的意识日益增强。该跨学科课程确定了这些威胁对国家和全球治理，人权与道德，犯罪和区域主义构成的挑战。它建立在我们在政治，国际关系，全球和人类安全，和平与和解研究领域已建立的专业知识的基础上。演讲嘉宾和实地考察是该课程不可或缺的一部分，其中包括参观反犯罪，反恐和反现代奴隶制组织。以前的学生已经能够与当地警察部队以及欧洲范围内的非政府组织和国际组织合作，包括西西里岛
Since the end of the Cold War there has been a growing awareness of the changing nature of security threats facing individuals, communities and states worldwide. With intensifying economic, political, cultural and military globalisation, there is now a heightened awareness of terrorism and international crime. This interdisciplinary course identifies the challenges these threats pose to national and global governance, human rights and ethics, criminality and regionalism. It builds on our established expertise in the fields of politics, international relations, global and human security, peace and reconciliation studies. Guest speakers and field trips are an integral part of the course, which include visits to the counter-crime, counter terrorism and counter modern slavery organisations. Previous students have been able to work on placements with the local police forces, as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations within Europe, including the antimafia organisation AddioPizzo in Sicily, Ethicando in Paris, the UN NGO Women's Federation for World Peace in Geneva, the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin, CISS (International Cooperation South-South) in Italy, and Chatham House in London.
