M.A.

NPSIA's M.A. program emphasizes imparting professional skills as well as knowledge. Our courses are policy as opposed to theoretically oriented and frequently involve the use of case studies and simulations. The majority of our students see the M.A. as their path to the workforce. NPSIA graduates find employment in Canada and abroad in government departments, non-governmental and international organizations, and the private sector.

The M.A. program is organized around seven clusters:

  • International Trade Policy
  • Global Political Economy
  • Conflict Analysis and Conflict Resolution
  • Intelligence and National Security
  • International Institutions and Global Governance
  • International Dimensions of Development
  • Human Security and Development

 

The Intelligence and National Security cluster is built around a series of elective courses covering intelligence and security issues more broadly such as ‘Intelligence, Statecraft and International Affairs', Strategic Intelligence in theory and practice', ‘International security', ‘Terrorism', ‘Arms control and disarmament' etc., and all NPSIA students must complete a relevant economics course and the course in policy-methods.

The York Centre for International and Security Studies is a research unit of York University dedicated to the study of international peace and security issues.

The York Centre for International and Security Studies pursues a triple mandate of research, graduate teaching, and outreach. We undertake critical and theoretically-informed research that is guided by: a) a concern with the ethical-political dimensions of security; and b) the assumption that the pursuit of security, defence, peace, and social justice requires the study of transnational and global forces in relation to local contexts and a range of social groups.

The centre, a research unit of York University, works and partners with academics, policymakers, practitioners, and activists across Canada and around the world. Our members include York faculty and graduate students, and visiting scholars from inside and outside Canada.

Programme in Strategic Studies

Since the inception of the Programme in Strategic Studies in 1986, and its recognition as the Centre for Defence and Security Studies by the Senate of the University of Manitoba in 1993, the CDSS has encouraged interest and informed debate in the area of Security, Strategic and Defence Studies. The Centre is linked to the Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba.

The CDSS promotes student interest at the undergraduate and graduate level through a coherent and innovative teaching curriculum. Its research programme undertaken by faculty and research associates is published through its Occasional Paper Series. The CDSS actively involves itself with the community at large through its multi-faceted outreach initiatives. Consequently, the Centre has established an outstanding reputation for its endeavours within the University of Manitoba and the community at large, locally, nationally and internationally.

The CDSS undertakes research into all aspects of international security. The Centre has its own specialist research staff who work closely with other researchers at the University of Manitoba. The CDSS also has links with other Centres and Institutes in Canada and around the world. These relationships enable the Centre to pursue an inter-disciplinary approach to questions of international security where appropriate.

The Centre is interested in undertaking collaborative inter-disciplinary research in the areas of defence and international security. Research proposals are invited from scholars at other centres/institutes who wish to collaborate with the Centre.
