Course summary
This course analyses the complex relationships at the heart of development and security in the Global South.
We have an interdisciplinary perspective on questions of peace, vulnerability, and insecurity. You will gain a grounding in concepts of conflict, security, and development. You will explore:
- how cycles of insecurity and violence affect development
- difficulties faced by various organisations negotiating spirals of violence and insecurity (for example during armed intervention, aid provision, peace-building processes or post conflict reconstruction)
- whether underdevelopment in the Global South facilitates the international spread of terrorist and criminal networks.
You will benefit from our cutting-edge research, international faculty, and distinctive programme of events. We host the Sussex Centre for Conflict and Security Research, the Centre for Advanced International Theory, and the Centre for Global Political Economy. You can also make use of our strong working relationships with many alumni, collaborators, and partner organisations around the world.
Careers
Our MA is ideal for you if you wish to pursue a career in development, peacebuilding, international affairs, journalism, or academic research. Or if you have a general interest in insecurity in the Global South.
