International Symposium ~ Dilemmas of Global (In)Security
In recent years many have come to the realization that the concept of "security" is hardly clear-cut. Traditional notions of national and international security have focused on the security of states and governments, where more recent conceptualizations highlight the security of humans or individuals. This year's symposium will explore various national, international and human security topics relevant to the global community in an effort to shed light on the various causes and consequences of security and insecurity around the world.
Click here to see photos from the International Symposium on Dilemmas of Global (In) Security (External site - opens in new window).
