About this Unit

This unit focuses on the phenomena of terrorism and insurgency throughout the course of history up until the contemporary period. Students will explore the definitions, theories and driving forces behind these issues, seeking to develop an understanding of their historical continuities and how and why they have emerged as a threat to international security in the post-Cold War Environment. Drawing on an array of case studies, the unit will cover a diverse range of topics relating to political violence, including: ideology; the influence of globalisation; foreign fighters; countering violent extremism; and counterinsurgency.
