This course examines the causes and consequences of contemporary, global political violence. It explores the dynamics (who, why, when, and how) of political violence and investigates both the utility of these acts and efforts to prevent, counter, and recover from them. Topics include war, civil conflicts, non-state armed groups, state violence, civilian targeting, terrorism, and political extremism.
