It will focus on knowledge and understanding of the principal social and psychological factors that influence the emergence, development, and abandonment of terrorism as a method of waging conflict, and offer an understanding and critical evaluation of the political context to contemporary terrorism. It will introduce students to the critical assessment of terrorist incidents around the world, examine selected approaches to counter- terrorism and the development of new responses.
