SIS Class Visit: Terrorism and Counterterrorism
Monday, November 18, 2019
8:20 PM - 10:50 PM Eastern Standard Time
Location:
Main Campus
Description:
This course examines terrorism to understand why, when, and how actors choose to employ this type of political violence. This includes an ongoing dialogue about whether to understand terrorism as a criminal act or an act of war, which is particularly important when discussing counterterrorism responses domestically and internationally. The primary focus is on the use of terrorism by non-state actors, although state-sponsored terrorism is also covered. Various theories related to the study of terrorism are discussed, but in concert with a healthy focus on empirical examples in order to understand how theory meets practice.
