Humanitarianism and counterinsurgency warfare are two sides of the same coin in the post-Cold War global security paradigm. This course will examine how each became pillars of that paradigm: humanitarianism as the ostensible commitment to save the victims of natural and political disasters worldwide; and counterinsurgency warfare as the strategy both to eliminate criminal and terrorist networks that challenge the legitimacy of the inter-state system and to “win the hearts and minds” of local populations whom they threaten. In that context, the course will investigate responses to armed insurrections as well as natural disasters, epidemics, and acute famines that, today, combine humanitarian with militarized responses. The course will also consider how humanitarianism and counterinsurgency warfare draw heavily on academic expertise (e.g. anthropology, sociology, criminology, geography, history, political science, religious studies, and psychology), thus inviting the controversial issue of the relationship between the scholar, the university, and the security apparatus. (Prerequisite: semester 5 standing).
