Goals
|
This course aims to introduce Security Studies as a sub-branch of the discipline of International Relations, which was born in the 1940s and turned into an area that includes many security theories with the end of the Cold War. In this context, this course introduces students to the concept of security, the development of the great powers and Security Studies at the current security approach is intended to grip with international organizations and examples of Turkey.

Content
|
In this course, the emergence of Security Studies as a sub-discipline of International Relations, its development in the Strategic Studies hegemony and its transformation after the Cold War and the theoretical diversity arising in this transformation are discussed. In this framework, the traditional approaches of the field, such as liberalism and realism, and the new theoretical debates such as feminism, critical theory and the Copenhagen School are examined. In addition, the empirical dimensions of Security Studies are addressed through examples from regional and global organizations such as NATO and the UN, as well as countries from different regions.
