Course/Module description:
In recent decades, and especially since the events of September 11, 2001, terrorism has received a significant research boost. Political and public interest in the issue increased markedly, particularly due to the global scale of the phenomenon and the large number of fatalities and casualties. The course will present a general background of the main issues pertaining to terrorism: the definition of terrorism, history of terrorism, politics of terrorist organizations and causes of terrorism such as globalization, poverty and religion. Topics such as terrorist financing, fighting terrorism and the dilemmas involved will also be discussed. Several lessons will be dedicated to analyzing current terrorist incidents.
