About this lecture
Democracies today continue to wrestle with shifting and rapidly evolving threats stemming from conflicts, state coercion, and a variety of domestic and transnational security concerns. Unlike other political systems, societies governed by the rule of law must craft policy and legal responses that uphold democratic values and protect civil, social and human rights. This raises complex governance challenges: how can states ensure security while respecting democratic legal frameworks? What kind of powers and responsibilities shape democratic security governance?
This course explores these questions through an interdisciplinary lens and draws on the diverse expertise embedded in the specialisation tracks of the Master’s in Crisis and Security Management. The course introduces students to the key approaches used to analyse security and rule of law dilemmas in both national and international contexts.
