DESCRIPTION
This course is designed in a way that will enable the student to master the content of Terrorism in Global Politics and critically assess it through a comprehensive theoretical toolkit. The course accommodates positivist and post-positivist approaches equally and is suitable for both bachelor's and master?s students.
The course provides a broad understanding of what is terrorism, why groups like al Qaida, the Islamic State (IS) and Boko Haram are designated as terrorists, but other militant groups are not. The course looks at and critically examines counter-terrorism strategies, the global War on Terror (WoT) and the makeup of international military coalitions. The role of international organizations like the United Nations (UN), states and institutions as well as of the legal frameworks in combating terror is explored. The course particularly focuses on the history and reasons of terrorism, the notion of Islamic terror and different states' role in supporting terrorism to achieve their domestic and international objectives.
