Foreign Policy Analysis & Crisis Management

This unit focuses on the concepts and theories of foreign policy analysis relevant to disaster management. You will consider the diplomatic dimensions of international disaster and crisis management and evaluate key issues and challenges shaping the formulation and implementation of foreign policy in relation to crises and disasters.

You will explore case-studies that include complex emergencies like War in Yemen, as well as investigating the international dimensions of responses to major disasters like the DeepWater Horizon Oil Spill, the NASA Space Challenger disaster and Hurricane Katrina.

We are delighted to introduce Bournemouth University’s vision and strategic plan: BU2025. This is the next step in BU’s development, building on our success. We have retained the core of what makes BU different, and the culture and approach that our students and staff value.

BU accommodation isn't just about a roof over your head - it's about being part of a community where you can involve yourself in as much or as little as you like. BU students share their experiences of our accommodation options, plus some handy hints and tips.
