The September 11 attacks and the Bali bombings have increased the significance of terrorism and political violence in international politics. This course responds to the need for a program of study that evaluates these phenomena. It provides a critical understanding of what terrorism is and how it is constructed and reproduced. It also addresses the diverse and multifaceted factors involved in enacting and preventing terrorism and other security concerns. The course is designed for those who wish to pursue graduate study in these areas and for professionals working in law enforcement, public service, defence and diplomacy. Studies cover terrorism (state, religious, revolutionary and right wing); the political, theological and intellectual bases of terrorism; political violence and political movements; and country and regional studies. Theoretical and empirical units that examine the international processes and events that fuel and discourage terrorism provide further context.
