Research Group on
Security, Risks Management and Conflict
Acronym: SEGERICO
Description and Research topics
Description:SEGERICO is composed of researchers from different disciplines including law, political science, international relations, psychology, education and neuroscience. Such diversity allows the research group to study and analyze from an interdisciplinary perspective modern day vulnerabilities, security threats and conflicts.
As we are witnessing a radical transformation of conflicts, particularity in their main actors, settings, and intensity, a new reflection is needed on measures to avoid conflicts –such as the promotion of Human Rights and development– and on the characteristics and root causes of conflicts. This unfolding new reality also invites us to reflect on the adequacy of humanitarian law norms, and on the management of post-conflict situations and peacebuilding.
SEGERICO was the incubator of a new doctorate program in Security and Risk and Conflict Analysis, offered by Nebrija.
Our main lines of research include::
- Security issues, risk and conflict analysis.
- The psychology of violence.
- The transformation of war: Challenges to the global society and the diversification of actors.
- Terrorism.
- New security and defence spaces: oceans, space and cyberspace.
- The relationship between conflicts and human rights.
- The European Union: Security, defense and resilience.
- Mechanisms for the pacific settlement of disputes: Adjudication, mediation, arbitration and conciliation.
- International Humanitarian Law
- Conflict Management: Peacekeeping and peacebuilding
