International Security
This module provides students with an examination of international security. The module starts with a discussion of strategic studies as a discipline. It discusses traditional (military) security studies looking at traditional concerns surrounding military power and the use of force. Following the evolution in security studies and in understandings of security the module `broaden¿ and `deepens¿ its scope. The module looks at sectors beyond security such as society, the economy, and the environment. It also deepens the account of security by looking at actors below the states, such as groups and the single individual (human security). Finally, the module analyses alternative approaches to security such as critical, feminist, and post-modern approaches to security.

Researching Politics 2
Researching Politics 2 (RP2) is the follow-on module from RP1 and it acts as the culmination for the subject knowledge and transferable skills developed in that module. RP2 puts the creative emphasis in the hands of the students, with the module convenor and topic tutors giving guidance and feedback to facilitate the realisation of research conceived, developed, executed and presented by students. In this way, it tries to approximate the worlds of further study and work into which students will be progressing following the completion of their degree schemes.
It is a module where all of the summative assessments are comprised of group work, although individual marks can be varied depending on each student¿s performance. Students are also required to submit an individual self-assessment, detailing what they have learned about their own strengths and weaknesses on the basis of the sustained group work.
In RP2, you will extend and deepen the research undertaken in RP1 and continue to meet regularly in order to share ideas, opinions and sources in your groups. These meetings will include several where the topic tutor provides guidance and feedback as well as those where the meetings are student-led.

Southeast Asian Security
Security is a multifaceted and contested concept that provides an analytical prism to capture the depth and breadth of issues impacting on human, state and regional peace and stability. Southeast Asia not only manifests the different security issues that face the developing world but the states in this region have begun to encounter the security problems that plague the developed world. The region thus offers an opportunity to examine how developing states can overcome the traditional problems that undermine the security of the third world, and whether these states can avoid the security dilemmas that generate insecurity amongst states in the international system. The aim of the module is two-fold: first, to determine what the security issues of the Third World are and how the states of Southeast Asia have sought to solve them; second, to understand the reasons behind tensions amongst the members of ASEAN, and between ASEAN and China, and to determine whether the region¿s peacekeeping structures are adequate.
