I have spent over 11years studying global politics, International relations, Diplomacy, , Foreign Policy, Security Studies, geopolitics, Environmental issues as well as 6 years studying Islamic Theology, law, Arabic all over the world from leading institutes, academic scholars, so the books I write about or reference I urge you all to read.
You will note from any leading university/ institute where ever you look , they are offering all these degrees, masters, Diplomas as its is a new thing to do.
Likewise they the academics like myself see a swing also towards the environmental issues , so now universities and institutes are devising courses on these subjects like Sustainable security, Environmental development and international development etc.
What people fail to understand is when we want to set forth a new degree or course, we come together and search on academic lit and books written on the subjects then devise modules aims and objectives.
So it makes me wonder are degrees, master s etc really value for money? or is it just a money grabbing game?. Thats why im no longer part of it.
Look at the majority of so called experts interviewed on media stations. They say I am an expert in this, that and so on. read their CV nothing at all apart from just like us all academics we are specialist and experts in these fields because we have spent most of our lives studying, researching, writing and debating.
A scholar doesn't matter what field he or she is from, does not become a scholar after one degree or Short course.
