This unit examines why insurgencies happen, their characteristics, and how they can develop into – or be associated with – non-state security challenges. These challenges can include criminal activities, such as trafficking in arms, people and narcotics, and the modern version of maritime piracy. As well as examining the history of insurgencies, this unit will compare and contrast the different types of responses adopted by states, and the effects of influence-drivers – such as globalisation and technology. -- Course Website
