International Summer School 2007: Complex Challenges, Comprehensive Responses

Posted on 2007-12-06.

von Kathrin Brockmann, Hans Bastian Hauck (eds.)

The link between international security and development constitutes a nexus that is only beginning to be understood and addressed by the international community and by regional security and development actors. During the International Summer School, participants and renowned speakers examine the complexity of contemporary development and security challenges, such as transnational warfare, terrorism, poor governance and state failure, migration and resource conflicts, as well as the transformation of traditional security and development concepts and policies (human security paradigm etc.). New interfaces between security and development (e.g. the concept of Security Sector Reform) and the need for an integrated approach to address global challenges are discussed. In this light, efforts and strategies of global actors like the EU, US, NATO, UN and OSCE as well as sensitivities and prospects for cooperation are assessed. Case studies on Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Balkans provide regional insights to the topic.
