Description
Terrorism is recognised as an irregular form of global conflict and a central concern of national and international politics. Terrorism affects all the complex elements of international relations: including trade, economics, information transfers, culture and religion. Understanding Terrorism requires interdisciplinary analysis and this subject will equip students with the theoretical frameworks to analyse the motivations and transnational nature of this phenomena. The subject will also provide an overview of the strategies deployed by States and Institutions to combat this lethal form of political activism.
