Examining Global Security Challenges Relative to Europe The European Training Course in Security Policy (ETC) examines European security within a regional and global context thus better assessing the interconnectedness of transnational threats and responses. The ETC deepens participants’ understanding of the security policy challenges relative to Europe, and has done so for nearly two decades.
KEY BENEFITS FOR YOU The course provides an in-depth overview of European security issues framed in the broader international security context. The ETC objectives are: • to provide you with a comprehensive and analytical overview of global security trends relative to Europe, • to develop your understanding of how Europe interfaces with the world on security issues, • to enhance your relevant skill sets to be effective security policy practioners, • to promote mutual understanding and generate a community of security policy professionals.
TEACHING STAFF PROFILES The ETC teaching staff includes GCSP’s own international team composed of academics and practitioners with broad experience in security policy, diplomacy and/or military affairs, as well as highlevel guest speakers (government officials, military officers, representatives from international institutions and civil society, academics and researchers). An average of sixty speakers lead sessions during the two-month course.
