About This Course

Theory and practice in Security Studies focuses on national security. The concepts and examples used will show how a nation-state provides for the physical and emotive security of its geographical boundaries in order to protect its citizens. The objective of national security is to provide a safe and secure environment for the people of a given country in terms of the national interest and the national agenda. This course covers the various issues that arise in conjunction with the rise of the nation-state such as war, peace, conflict and consensus, and interpretations that exceed the discipline of Security Studies. The course shows how important it is to explain the nexus between the theory and practice of Security Studies for Southeast Asia in general and Singapore in particular.
