The LSESU War Studies Society is the first society at LSE exclusively focused on Security Studies (SS) as a critical subfield of International Relations (IR). Our society seeks to delve - from a practical and vocational point of view - into the intricate and multifaceted dimensions of war, including exploring its diverse root causes, its actors and factors, borders, religious beliefs, ideologies, and power strategies at local, regional, and international levels. This initiative’s restrictive scope on conflict, geopolitics, and intelligence calls to all individuals keen to further their personal skills and research interests in these areas and pursue careers in either the private or public sectors. It could offer valuable contact opportunities for those aiming to work with global risk consultancy firms, non-governmental organizations, regional organizations such as the EU, national defense agencies, or the UN. The LSESU WSS hopes to offer a platform for students to engage with experts in the field, complementing their academic curriculums and providing them with greater insights into the real-world application of their studies.
