NSIS 5550 - International Security


Credit Hours: 3

Dynamics of globalization have resulted in the development of new challenges shaping the national security and intelligence mission. These challenges include the impact of the global migration of people, rapid spread of information, environmental degradation, natural resource scarcities, disease, financial crises, terrorism, organized crime, and WMD proliferation. The information revolution and advances in science and technology provide both threats and opportunities. Students will explore the nature and dynamics of the emerging global environment in the context of US national security and challenges for intelligence analysis and collection, both now and in the future. Students will examine globalization’s impact on transnational issues that affect regional stability, such as demographic shifts and migration movements, the environment and health, competition over natural resources, ethnic and other forms of internal conflict, terrorism, WMD proliferation, and organized crime.
