PL 332 - Security Ethics

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: PL 201  and one additional PL 200-level course. It is estimated that about twenty percent of the world economy is generated by criminal enterprise. Increasingly, legitimate business is competing in markets where mafia, pirates, terrorists, and crime gangs are active participants. Security ethics is an emerging subfield of business ethics which aims to understand these criminal risks (e.g., espionage, kidnapping, extortion, piracy) and calibrate ethical responses to them. On the basis of broad reading, this course suggests that an adaptation of Just War theory is an ethical model. IFS
