Master of Arts in Conflict, Security and Development

Program Overview

This course analyses the complex relationships at the heart of development and security in the Global South.

We have an interdisciplinary perspective on questions of peace, vulnerability and insecurity. You’ll gain a grounding in concepts of conflict, security and development. You’ll explore:

  • How cycles of insecurity and violence affect development
  • Difficulties faced by various organisations negotiating spirals of violence and insecurity (for example during armed intervention, aid provision, peace-building processes or postconflict reconstruction)
  • Whether underdevelopment in the Global South facilitates the international spread of terrorist and criminal networks.

You’ll benefit from our cutting-edge research, international faculty and distinctive programme of events. We host the Sussex Centre for Conflict and Security Research, the Centre for Advanced International Theory and the Centre for Global Political Economy. You can also make use of our strong working relationships with many alumni, collaborators and partner organisations around the world.
