POL S 121 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Sam Huntington, Safe Havens, Great Power
Document Summary
Added to end of last lecture "the next evolution" Think of a city block - bad neighbors are bad because: They benefit from good neighbors - they don"t bear any costs. It depends on the neighborhood they belong to. Regionalism: a different way to analyze security problems. "security analysis swings between an overemphasis on the dominant role of the great powers within the system, and an overemphasis on the internal dynamics and perspectives on individual states" (b. buzan) Thinking about the areas of the world, and seeing if there is something specifically generating problems for everyone in that particular. Take for example: clash of civilizations (sam huntington) Seeing what happens if we figure out where cultures are in the globe finding conflict on "fault lines" that separate individual cultures. Where civilizations meet is where we"ll see potential for conflict. Conflicts of the future will be fought between civilizations and for civilizations not for nation states.
