This year the Summer University, will be held in Old town of Vushtria in Kosovo, from 20-26 of
August 2015. The accommodation, meals and lectures are going to be held at Kosovo Academy
for Public Safety. In this Summer University we will present various levels of security,
institutions, levels that must be understood by students and young scholars, and receive briefing
by best experts and guest speakers on the topics, mentioned in agenda.
The word ‘security’ is highly present in media, politics and daily conversations. But what does
it actually mean? What makes one feel secure? And, more importantly, how is security
organized in order to improve it and what are effective ways to deal with (violent) conflicts? In
other words, in what ways is security governed?
This one-week programme will give students an in-depth look into the ways in which thinking
and speaking about security have changed over time, and how stakeholders on various levels deal
with conflicts and security, ranging from the international arena to the state and from private
security companies to communities and individuals.
Topics that will be discussed include international security, new wars, human security,
“Responsibility to protect”, human rights, national security in a globalizing world, cyber
security, private security companies, gated communities, and citizens’ initiatives in war
situations.
Target Group
Students with different academic backgrounds and a general interest in security and Euro-
Atlantic integration will benefit from each other in an intercultural and interdisciplinary
learning process. Former classes consisted of regular students and practitioners such as civil
servants, communication experts, young politicians and even parliamentary officials.
The course does not require special knowledge about security policies and institutions,
European politics,
law, history or culture, but participants should be interested in more than just their field of
specialization. In class participation, especially in the discussions with experts, is essential for
the course success and plays an important role in grading.
Lectures, presentations and examinations will be held in English.
