It considers current issues and provides some frameworks for examining likely future changes. It gives particular attention to security issues associated with energy, technology, finance, information, food and water, resources and failing states. Resource security issues are considered with particular attention to conflicts, the 'so-called' conflict resources such as timber, diamonds and precious minerals. -- Course Website
