- Cíle předmětu
- The course’s primary goals are to use the problems of non-state political violence and terrorism to develop students’ ability to analyze and critique competing arguments, and to formulate their own arguments based on independent research of the existing secondary-source literature.
The key questions address in the course include: Why do non-state actors commit acts of political violence and terrorism? Is all political violence caused by the same factors, or is terrorism different? What causes civil wars and under what conditions do they end? What are the roles (if any) of poverty, inequality, or religion in explaining political violence? Can governments take effective action to prevent or counter the threats of terrorism and insurgency, or are we all doomed to live in insecurity? - Výstupy z učení
- After successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge of social science and policy debates about political violence, civil wars, terrorism, and counterterrorism;
Demonstrate factual knowledge of selected historical and current cases where these debates are reflected in real-world events;
Read critically to assess the explanatory value of competing perspectives and theories;
Apply contending theories from the social science literature to analyze, compare, and evaluate selected historical and current events. - Osnova
