Class 1: Introduction2) Security: a hot topic!
Why are security issues high on the agenda?
1. Basic need → Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
2. Technological development → technology can’t develop without security
- Complex systems
→ new types of risks
→ normal accidents
3. Globalization
- Global as a geospatial concept
→ global in scale (climate change) → cause & effects all over the world
→ global in reach (migration) → regional causes → areas
connect
- Global as an all encompassing concept
→ universal field of study
Globalization
- no boundaries for security issues
- process of states becoming more interlinked: cultural, political, social, economics
3) security studies
→ interstate war & military intervention
- Emerging phase = first post war decade → political science was studied
- The golden age = during cold war → strong focus on war and military force in
international relation
- The decline = after cold war → end was not predicted
New forms of security threats
→ from state-centered to human-centered approach
→ Broadening
→ Deepening → adding people & sources
Short history:
- emerged as academic discipline as a RESPONSE to (world) WARS
- Initially focused completely on (inter)national security
- Key topic of study:
- war & conflict
,Class 2: welcome to the science department
1) Introduction
Science: research (methods), experiment, hypotheses
- Conceptions are a bit flat
- Several world views & fields in science
- Different expectations & ideas what they can accomplish
2) Science?
What is science?
- Good & bad inventions
- Some inventions bring problems & opportunities
Definition: “Science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how things in the
universe work. […] It is also the body of knowledge accumulated through the discoveries
about all the things in the universe.”
- Types of questions → systematic & logical way → others can replicate the study →
same results/outcome → knowledge
- Build upon the methods of others
- Progression & moving forward
- The tree of science -
Why & when does a discipline become a discipline?
History of science:
- People try to understand the world they see
- Ancient times: a lot of explanations → often magical
- Scientific way of thinking moves away from the other 2 → many centuries
→ connected at first
1) Science
2) Magic
3) Religion
Science does not ever refer to supernatural powers
- over time we develop techniques
, ● Early scientific discoveries

- Periodic table → 5 elements → wood, fire, earth, metal, water
- Magnetism → compasses
India 3000 B.C
- Number system
- Medicine, math, physical science
→ all practical inventions
Science: handle a problem (wonder) → can we come up with a solution?
Europe
Thales of miletus → 624-545 B.C
- What makes a scientific way of thinking different from a normal way of thinking?
→ Facts, observable, see happening in the world
→ stop mixing science & mythical thinking
= Natural philosophy
→ claims that everything is made of water → no proof
1) Atomism (420 B.C.)
- What is everything made of?
- natural philosophers → interested in asking questions about the world around them
→ getting a better understanding in reality
