Human Security

The Division of Global Affairs Human Security certificate follows the shift from theory based state-centric models of security to theories that identify human and environmental well-being as areas of interest for security at the national and global level.  Specifically, the concentration focuses on the social determinants of local and global health and health policy; increasing environmental threats, challenges, and the opportunities for policy to promote environmental security; and the ethical/normative framing of these newly identified security issues. This line of research seeks to understand security as a concept that is rooted in both community and individual well-being.
