The Bachelor of Global Security provides understandings of contemporary challenges to security, including terrorism, political violence, transnational crime, global poverty, climate change and environmental stress, and analyses their political, historical and social context. Graduates will have the skills to respond to such challenges in the short-term, and develop robust solutions. Such skills are highly sought after in many public and private sector organisations - security, law enforcement and defence agencies and consultancies, and organisations concerned with aid, human security, development, and human rights.The aim of this course is to equip students with knowledge concerning the nature and complex intertwined causes of security threats so that they can assess a range of types and levels of security threats and offer analyses to work towards effective interventions and long-term solutions to these challenges.Terrorism, and efforts to counter it, has come to reshape national and global politics in the 21st Century. In the Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies major, students will explore the meaning, evolution and complex causes of terrorism and political violence. Students will gain specialised knowledge of various counter-terrorism strategies, policies and politics adopted by governments and security agencies in response to these threats. The major equips students with specialised analytical skills to analyse contexts in which terrorism occurs and evaluate counter terrorism policies and strategies.

You’ll cover terrorism, political violence, crimes that have effects across national borders, global poverty and even climate change. Learn how to combat situations in the short-term and use prevention longer-term.

This unit examines policy responses to security threats at the global, regional, national and local levels. The course is situated at the intersection of public policy analysis, security politics and security challenges. A key feature of this of this course is to analyse political conflicts over such as issues as climate change, water security, border security and migration. Which solutions are available and how effective are they? Whose voices are heard when designing these solutions? Why are certain voices marginalized? How is this reflected in policy, and how is security constructed and produced?Students will learn to how to define, critique and assess security issues, analyse the social forces and interests that shape various policy responses to security challenges, and explore (alternative) policies to deal with them. This requires effective and practical policy frameworks underpinned by strong evidence, practical methods, and a theory of change. Making use of case studies to explore the political dynamics of security policies, the unit will equip students with policy skills to analyses and respond to a wide range of security challenges.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.

Security Challenges in Policy and Practice

Previously the professional military has played three principal roles. It has protected states, waged wars in pursuit of national interests, and helped maintain international order. Recently, major inter-state wars have disappeared, but unconventional conflicts, insurgencies, and terrorism have increased. This subject focuses on how the military responds to the changing global security situation, with a primary focus on terrorist threats. It examines how the military has become a counterterrorism tool at various levels: detection, prevention, and elimination of the threat.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.

Investigate how the military responds to terrorist threats and has become a counterterrorism tool. Examine the counterinsurgency role of the Australian military since 9/11, along with peacekeeping and nation building operations

Military Force and Counterterrorism

Justice was once thought to be culturally specific; so no general standard of justice applied.  Both the idea of an inborn sense of justice and gloabalization have played important roles in the development of a general (global) idea of justice.  A concern with global justice often focuses on unjust treatment of people of non-western countries by people from western countries.  Both international aid and the various forms of security are affected by the idea of and demands for global justice.
