Course Description:
The module considers a wide range of questions in order to provide students with an understanding of the nature and the political and social implications of terrorist and counterterrorist violence today. In particular, the module explores the complex interplay between the terrorist threat and governmental and international responses, introducing students to both theoretical analyses of how terrorism is framed and defined, as well as to empirical case studies of terrorist groups, activities and operations. The module seeks to encourage students to think critically about the following questions: What is terrorism? How is terrorism different to other forms of political violence? What role do gender and race play in our understanding of terrorism? What are the challenges faced when trying to prevent or end terrorist violence? How do terrorism and counterterrorism interlink?
