The theme of Human Rights is present throughout the classes and is also a specific topic of study, particularly in addressing issues related to migrations and population displacement in conflict areas. Other topics covered include the threat posed by terrorism, organized crime, and cybersecurity, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, security in the post-Cold War era, and asymmetric warfare. Given the changes in the international security landscape, the course delves into the elements of national power available to defense policy makers and the strategic outcomes achieved at both the national and international levels.
