ITSS Executive International Security Programme
Emerging Security Dynamics in the 21st Century: conflict, peace, and policymaking
International security crises and the mechanisms we use to address them have changed dramatically throughout the 21st century. Through dynamic lectures and seminars, our Executive Programme foregrounds intersectional views of international security and world governance as analytic lenses to highlight and question the interrelations between insecurity, power, and violence we face today.
Join ITSS Verona for a 3-day Executive Programme!
14- 16 December 2022
This course is a highly competitive premier one-week program intended for high-performing professionals interested in enhancing their careers and practical approaches to address unpredictable global security challenges. With insight into the conflicts at most risk of escalation, changing geopolitical dynamics, and disruptions in political power, we outline the issues to watch in 2023 in a case-based method, connecting to grander trends in Security Studies.
Students will be exposed to the specific problems, histories, and contexts of these cases, but will also be encouraged to think critically and question the underlying narratives of each topic. With this aim, seminars will be a nexus between theory and practice, enabling the exercise of evaluation and decision-making skills. At the Forefront of these classes are experts from world-leading institutions and companies, including King’s College London, Stanford University, and national governments and the entire ITSS Verona team.
We prepare you to engage with scholars and policymakers, advancing your career in security, defence, policy, and statecraft.
