II level Master in "International Security Studies" - AY 2022-2023
The second level inter-university master's degree in “International Security Studies. A comparative analysis of current theories and policy paradigms of national and international security" is a one-year postgraduate curriculum designed to provide a solid grounding in international security studies, effectively blending the teaching offerings of theUniversity of San Marino and University of Modena and Reggio Emilia to that of some of the most important International Research Centers, with the explicit ambition of helping to overcome the relative scarcity of studies on this crucial field in Europe today.
An advanced analysis of the set of current "global threats" to peace and security - such as renewed concerns about the risk of conflict between major national powers; proliferation of nuclear weapons; unconventional and asymmetric warfare; transnational terrorism and the spread of violent extremism; actual and potential alliances between terrorist groups and transnational criminal networks; illicit channels for terrorist financing; cyber warfare and cyber crime; affirmation of “non-state actors”; civil wars and rebellions in the context of regional crises and aggressions; humanitarian crises and refugees/mass migrations; the presence of health crises and epidemics on an international scale; prolonged instability of financial markets; climate change and food/water resources at risk – will allow for an introductory, yet rigorous, foray into the understanding and comparative analysis of parallel paradigms of response to national and global security challenges, with particular attention to approaches promoted by States United States and from Western Europe.
In this context, the teachers will guide the students' efforts towards a careful analysis of the current debate on international law and organizations - including the established rules of armed conflicts - and the roles and nature of the traditional sovereign state, together with the analysis of existing friction (and the search for an acceptable balance) between respect for civil liberties and the need to protect national / international security, addressing the specific issues related to technology, "Technological Companies" (Big Tech) and the revolution of " Big Data”.
The subjects and topics covered will shape a study trajectory linked to the crucial crossroads between geopolitics, social and political sciences, law and international relations, constitutional traditions, macroeconomics, global cooperation/development and their philosophical underpinnings.
