Cíle předmětu
This course aims at achieving three broad objectives. Firstly, it establishes a knowledge pool enabling an understanding of the main concepts, issues and contours of the paradigm of human security. Secondly, it is designed to encourage enrolled students in developing critical thinking and transferable skills. Finally, since the course is organised and taught entirely in English, it intends to improve students’ abilities connected to academic writing and oral skills in this language. With regard to the logic of the course organisation, it is divided into two main parts. The course starts with the conceptual part and the second part consists of case studies. Although the conceptual part of this course is rooted in the field of security studies with its emphasis on different takes on humanitarian emergencies, it also offers an examination of the development of the human security paradigm in the UN, Canada and Asian countries as well as in providing insights into transformations in state sovereignty. Its second part comprises case studies and offers an interdisciplinary perspective on key issues. Through the set of case studies, we will analyse immediate causes of human insecurity (weapons, environment), tackle the topics of the sociology and psychology of post-war reconstruction (the role of women in this). After completing this course, students should be able to bridge relevant concepts with empirical evidence as far as the analysis of the most pressing humanitarian topics in world politics is concerned.
