Session 7: The Changing Nature of International Security: Globalisationand the Rise of Human Security (18 items)
With the fall of the Soviet Union and waves of democratization in both Eastern Europe andLatin America, a new, more secure world order appeared to be emerging. The democraticpeace thesis had suggested that, as democratic states rarely go to war with one another,increasing democratization would lead to a decrease in war, whilst the end of thepermanent insecurity of the cold war incited predictions of a more unified, secure world.But rather than disappearing, both war and the nature of security started to change.So-called 'old' wars fought and fundedby sovereign states over issues of territory andresources were, some have argued, replaced by 'new' wars fought and funded by a varietyof actors over issues of identity. Meanwhile, notions of security started to change, with thehuman replacing the state as the referent object of security, and with threats to individuallife becoming understood as sources of insecurity. With new wars often associated withhuman insecurity, agendas of conflict, security and development started to merge as partof a new agenda of human security.
1) Is war in decline? If so, why?
2) What, if anything, is the difference between old and new wars?
3) Critically assess the concept of human security.

Session 8: Conflict, Security & Development: Fragile States, UNPeacekeeping/Peacebuilding, and the 'Liberal Peace' (25 items)
For years, the World Bank had regarded economic liberalisation as key to development.But the 'African Crisis' of the 1980s had shown that economic liberalisation does notinevitably lead to growth, let alone to sustainable forms of development. The World Bankblamed this failure on corrupt institutions, blaming the lack of growth in Africa on failedstates. As a result, an agenda of 'good governance' was introduced. This agenda chimedwith the rise of UN peacekeeping missions, which looked to step in where states were'failing'. Before 1988, there were only 13 peacekeeping missions, in contrast to the 60 thatstarted since. Moreover, the nature of peacekeeping started to change and merge withdevelopment concerns, with attempts to ward off conflict being supplemented with longerattempts at building a lasting, sustainable peace through the building of liberal institutions.This week, we look at this merging of conflict, security, and development, and assesswhether peacekeeping and state building are key to development. This will be followed,over the next few weeks, by a focus on fragile states, conflict, and development in Rwandaand Darfur.
1) Account for the growth of interest in conflict and security within development.
2) What is the difference between peacebuilding and peacekeeping? Which approach ismore effective?
3) Critically evaluate the effectiveness of the UN's role in peacebuilding and post-conflictdevelopment in the post-Cold War period.
4) How powerful is the notion of 'state failure' in explaining 'under-development'
5) In what ways, if at all, should the UN's peacekeeping and post-conflict mechanisms andprocesses be reformed to make them more effective?
6) Account for the rise in the number of fragile and failing states.
