Terrorism Counterterrorism

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores the evolving relationship between terrorist threats and government responses. Drawing on terrorism's long historical trajectory, with a focus on the conduct and consequences of the U.S.-led counterterrorism campaign that emerged after the September 11, 2001 attacks, it provides students with a rigorous grounding in the dynamics of both international and domestic terrorism and counterterrorism. Students will thus acquire a solid conceptual and empirical foundation upon which further expertise can be developed.
