NS4801 Seminar on Terrorism
This course attempts to provide a broad sweep of the field of terrorism. We explore general issues - the structure of terrorist groups, the motivation of those who join, the patterns of authority and decision-making within groups, the impact of different types of operations on governments and the public. In the second portion of the course, we discuss in greater depth the campaigns of a few selected terrorist organizations. We will also look at what some scholars call the "new" terrorism. Prerequisites: None.
