CJMA 521 Terrorism and Counterterrorism (3 credits)
Discusses the history of terrorism, its evolving definition and how it relates to state violence, and its protean contemporary forms. In examining such topics as the attacks on the World Trade Center; Middle Eastern terrorism from the Palestinian Hamas movement and Israeli religious violence to state terrorism in countries such as Iraq; right-wing terrorism in this country (Oklahoma City); and the specific threat of terrorists using weapons of mass destruction, students will develop a global perspective on comparative aspects of terrorism.
