War, terrorism and violence

This course will meet once weekly. At the start of each class, students will be asked to present the readings listed in the syllabus. These presentations will be followed by an in-depth discussion which will be the occasion for the students to connect the conceptual discussion to the pragmatic realities of security as they experience it in the daily life. After a short break, I will then lecture with the aim of grasping the most crucial elements isolated during the discussion.
