This seminar introduces students to the concepts, goals, strategies, problems, and ideologies associated with contemporary and historic terrorist groups. Emphasis is placed on terrorist motives and on how terrorist actions have affected the course of history and current foreign and domestic policies. Various criteria to examine different types of terrorist organizations are used -- motives, means, objectives, geography, and others. Students learn why terrorism continues to be chosen as a mechanism for change in the United States and around the world, and how governments can work to limit its effects. Part of the Public Safety and Public Policy specializations.
