Security in the Western Hemisphere: A Multi-Dimensional Approach

This elective course examines the Western Hemisphere’s multidimensional security agenda, which encompasses traditional and non-traditional threats. Specifically, it takes an historical approach, analyzing at how “security” has been defined over time by primary state and non-state actors in the hemisphere. The course will also examine the region’s diverse multilateral forums for security cooperation, as well as “nontraditional” security issues, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and citizen security. Open to Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs students; others with Marxe School permission.
