Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

How did principles of international engagement in fragile situations evolve? Are there lessons learnt and a global consensus to be detected? Or did we already enter in a post-hegemonic culture of intervention? We look at Afghanistan, Libya, Kosovo or South Sudan. The nexus between security and development bridges inter-disciplinary gaps and brings about willingness to reform within the international community.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
