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.

This course is part of the Political Science and Legal Studies Undergraduate Research Engagement Program (UREP). When possible, student interests are paired with faculty in need of research assistance.
