In the second part the main focus will be on economic security in the context of international and regional integration and the economic policy of Uzbekistan.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to key concepts and issues that constitute the agenda of Security Studies today. It stresses different approaches to understanding security; and the key ongoing transitions and drivers within the global system, which has led to a mix of so-called ‘old’ and ‘new’ security challenges to be addressed. Various historical and theoretical debates on what might be termed ‘classical’ or ‘old’ security concepts in the 21st century are examined, such as the return of Great Power competition and major war, the Security Dilemma, Arms Races; territorial disputes and geo-political rivalry. At the same time, it also enables students to understand current issues such as climate change; trans-national terrorism; and infectious diseases. It is anticipated that students will develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the complexities of the global system in the 21st century. Through prescribed academic writings, students are directed to the linkage between emerging global events and to think critically about how the global security agenda of the new millennium will be shaped by drivers of change such as globalisation and major power transitions. The following outcomes are emphasized: 1.An ability to approach both theoretical debates and foreign policy outcomes with diverse analytical tools 2.The ability to collate and evaluate arguments from different sources and perspectives 3.The ability to formulate and articulate views coherently in written and oral forms 4.Critical thinking, analytical and reading skills

To write effectively, you need to read effectively. By “reading,” I refer to all sources of input to your thinking, including observation, utterance, and texts. This course is a student-led methodology seminar on the topic related to environment and development with an emphasis on “how to read and write,” i.e., to transform your reading experience to writing strategy. To facilitate this process, students are asked to identify key international journals and select articles related to their topic of research. An initial list of journals includes World Development, Development and Change, Nature Sustainability, and Global Environmental Change. The first half of the course includes lectures and student-led seminars. Each seminar consists of a short presentation on: 1) the main arguments of the articles, 2) what you have learned from reading them, and 3) how such learning can be utilized for future writing. The whole class will then discuss the same points. Occasionally, the instructor will insert mini-lectures on the research process. In the latter section of the course, each student will compose a specific writing proposal targeting to produce a literature review or original research article related to master/doctoral thesis. You are expected to present once during the reading seminars and once during the proposal-writing stage. You are also expected to offer written comments on one of your classmate’s research proposals. Motivation to write is the only but critical prerequisite to taking this course. このコースでは、「読む」という研究プロセスにおける入力を、「書く」という出力に変換するための基礎的なスキルを「開発と環境」というテーマに即した形で学ぶ。具体的には、開発や環境に関するトップジャーナルを大量に読み込んで、自分の研究にかかわる論文を選び、分野のトレンドを抑えるだけでなく、個別の論文の構造を分析することで、仮説やエビデンスの示し方、独自性の出し方などの「論文の書き方」を学ぶ。最初の数回と、途中の回で教員が適宜、講義を行う。最終的に何らかの書き物を出力するモチベーションがあることが、この授業への参加の大前提である。

This course aims to raise awareness on the critical role of space technology in our daily lives and the important implications it has on domestic policymaking and international relations. The first part of the course, titled “Space and Society”, provides an overview of major space technologies and their applications. It then demonstrates how space assets have become a critical infrastructure on which advanced societies are over-reliant, and the hazards and threats that they are facing. The second part of course delves into political science and international relations. It addresses the various approaches to space policymaking, the structure of international relations in outer space and the major challenges ahead for the space sector. This course will be a part of the global effort to map threats and consequences for space sustainability conducted by the United Nations Institute of Disarmament Research.

COVID-19 has starkly reinforced how the world faces global risks, not just to health but also the disruption of integrated supply chains. Why does the World Economic Forum publish its annual Global Risks Report and how does it arrive at its findings? And what are so-called “Existential Risks” that supposedly imperil humanity’s very survival? As governments such as the United Kingdom issue National Risk Registers to guide policy makers, this module enables students to examine the security dimensions of living in what sociologists have termed a ‘World Risk Society’. It highlights the new nature of vulnerability in an era of contested and often politicised science, as well as the impact on how we conceptualise and think about security. The module shows how key stakeholders such as industry, media, governments and politicians have to play crucial roles in not only shaping responses to these perceived risks, but also how to appropriately manage them. Students will be introduced to how risks of all types have challenged policy makers in the post-Cold War era from ethnic conflicts in Kosovo, the 9/11 terror attacks, Afghanistan, Iraq and so-called Islamic State. Most recently so-called existential risks such as AI and climate change and systemic risks to critical infrastructure such as the Suez and Panama Canals, disruptions to supply chains and concepts such as Economic Security have captured attention. While these issues are not necessarily new in a historical sense, this module shows how they have garnered renewed attention through the prism of risk. Policy responses are finally examined such as capacity-building for “futures literacy” and National Risk Assessment Exercises. The following outcomes are emphasized: 1.An ability to understand and evaluate a range of new security challenges and policy responses interconnected through globalization and technology 2.The linkage between industry, media, politics, and science and its relevance to global security affairs 3.The ability to collate and evaluate arguments from different sources and theoretical perspectives 4.The ability to formulate and articulate views coherently in written and oral forms 5.Critical thinking, analytical and reading skills
