POL 355 - Terror, State, and Society3 Credits
Offered Fall and Spring
Among the complex issues, we will explore critical ones of definition and motivation. Is one man’s terrorist really another’s freedom fighter? Why do some groups turn to violence to advance their political objectives? We will consider psychological, ideological, and theological motivations for terrorist activity. We will also discuss the methodology of terror: the targets, tactics, and organization of terrorist groups to understand how their motivations influence and drive their specific actions. Finally, we will consider counterterrorism strategies, from conciliation to crackdown as we ponder the future of terrorism in the United States and globally.
Core Curriculum Attribute(s): Global Perspectives , History and Social Science
