Course description

If you work in the defence sector in business development, sales or marketing and wish to enhance your knowledge and skills, then this course should be relevant to you.

The defence trade operates across a range of hemispheric boundaries, regions and sub-regions and national borders. As such, it is highly regulated and subject to significant political pressures. The incidence of increasing pressure and future challenges to the defence trade runs is directly proportional to a growth in regional instability in areas where the defence trade has always thrived. In such regions, a growing awareness of the way in which the defence trade impacts on regional and national longer-term development programmes, as well as the national recovery programmes of states coming out of conflict, is critical. Defence trading is increasingly scrutinized through the 'social governance' lens, in order to ensure that corporate practices in this area respond to the social, economic and environmental requirements of the recipient countries and are not beneficial only to the contractual entities. The course therefore considers legal and regulatory regimes in an international defence context and the political environments in which they operate.

The aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal, regulatory and ethical regimes in an international defence context and the political environments in which they operate.

Course content:

Defence in a national security context
Defence reform as part of the national security agenda
The role of Governance
Understanding overseas governments
International Governance
Defence reform (institutional development) and defence trade
Governance of the Defence export trade
The UK's Government's approach to overseas defence engagements
How export controls are established and implemented in major defence trading blocs and nations
International legal frameworks
International export controls and the donor community
Compliance and non-compliance

The course is an amalgam of lectures, syndicated discussions and directed research seeking to establish the relevance of applying diagnostic frameworks for international defence engagements to the context in which such parties operate.

This course may also be offered as a Master's level credit-rated short course, to suitably qualified applicants, which may be credited towards a part-time MSc International Defence Marketing.
