General Description (概要)
|
|
The course will look at how religion can be both a source of conflict and security with reference to the Global South.
このコースは、どのように宗教が、紛争や安全保障の両方の要因になりうるのかを途上国を題材に考察する。
This course begins by setting out the theoretical foundations for the study of a 'post-secular' approach to Human Security, dealing with the transformative effects of globalization on identity, religion and security. The second part of the course then draws on different sites of human insecurity around the globe to develop these ideas, examining themes such as:
1. The rise of exclusivist ethno-religious identities;
2. Their impact upon the human security of ethnic, religious, national, gender and sexual minorities;
3. The securitization of 'religion' post 9/11;
4. The retreat from multiculturalism.
