Based on sorting out the evolutionary logic and latest trends of these three ideological trends, this paper systematically analyzes their impacts on national sovereignty, multi-ethnic communities, and global governance, then proposes a systematic design for the ideological and political education in international security courses. Specifically, it includes: deepening the theoretical teaching system; innovating practical teaching carriers; strengthening the dimension of value guidance; and promoting interdisciplinary integrated teaching. This aims to provide a replicable and promotable paradigm for universities to build an international security course system and cultivate students with both theoretical research and governance capabilities.
