SECR 6915 - The Economics of International Security (3 Credit Hours)
Security and economics still exist to a substantial degree as separate worlds in both academia and government. Yet more and more scholars and practitioners have come to realize that economic constraints and opportunities greatly affect the pursuit of security objectives and the kinds of policies that states implement to cope with security challenges in a deeply interconnected world. This course analyzes the economic underpinnings of military power and international security. It also examines the economic aspects of non-traditional (which tend to be transnational) security threats whose spread and impact have been amplified by the process of globalization. In essence, this course takes issue with the outdated distinction between “high politics” (security affairs) and “low politics” (economics) and explores ways to foster engagement and bridge the gap between security studies and international political economy.
