Course Title:
Radicals, Terrorists, and Insurgents
Course Description:
Analyzes various movements that have turned to violence as a means of achieving political ends. Traces the history of political violence from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing on the ideologies and tactics employed by anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and other movements. The terms “radical,” “terrorist,” and “insurgent” have become catchphrases almost devoid of meaning. We attempt to understand what rationales lead people to political violence as well as what commonalities are shared by diverse movements.
