Ethics of War
This module explores many of the ethical challenges associated with the use of force for political purposes. It is designed to provide students with a timely opportunity to engage with big ideas and high-stakes issues in a dynamic, complex and highly contested area of scholarship and policymaking. Drawing on historical and contemporary information and ideas, we consider whether, how and why ethical principles influence strategic and tactical decisions. Thus, Ethics of War complements modules in the Department of Politics and International Relations that explore issues of global justice, foreign policy, and military strategy. -

Ethnography of Latin America
This module uses ethnographic approaches to understand the diversity of Latin America’s peoples and cultures. Emphasizing the emergence within Latin American anthropology of focuses on everyday life through topics such as kinship and family, ritual and religion, illness and healing, and race and gender, we examine how micro-processes entwine with macro-processes of globalization, social transformation and inequality. We therefore integrate details about particular peoples and cultures with analyses of the wider historical and social themes that are central to critically understanding the complexities of Latin America. Module materials are centred on ethnography as both research process and scholarly product. Ethnography is supplemented with literature, film (both documentary and non-documentary), and journalism. -

European Labour Markets
This module offers a comprehensive analysis of global and European policy and politics of employment and skill formation. Far from becoming less important in the context of a serious recession, these issues are all the more important because demographic trends are unaltered in the medium term, even with an economic recession: most of the 2050 workforce are already on the planet and most of the 2030 workforce are already in the labour market. In the scramble to shed jobs, we need to reflect on these issues and to think more strategically about how to ensure we shall have the workforce with the competences necessary to meet the challenges of the future. The module is designed to equip participants with a core body of knowledge necessary to understand European diversity with respect to, among other things, labour market regulation, employment relations systems and training regimes. Participants will be introduced to the underpinning theories of labour market regulation as well as the policy tools and instruments that have been developed in support of the Lisbon and Europe 2020 objectives of making Europe the most competitive knowledge based economy based on a high level of skills and social inclusion. -

European Power and the Geopolitics of Europe and Asia
It is the first time in history that we can approach the problem of European security architecture in terms of governance, rather than hegemony or the balance of power. The proliferation of European and global institutions concerned with addressing different dimensions of broadly defined security is encouraging and an indication of progress in light of the extremely violent first half of the 20th century.
At the same time, however, some of Europe’s centuries-old demons seem to have returned with vengeance (conflict with Russia) and new challenges undermine the established security order (Brexit). At the centre of these progressive and regressive developments is the EU and the ever-important problem of the nature and scope of European integration. In the field of international security, the EU has made an important, if often overlooked progress, transforming the very approach to long-term security challenges. At the same time, the security dimension of European integration is very much work in progress and, in light of the aforementioned challenges, raises some fundamental questions.
