Strategies of Political Violence - PICT313
Political violence is a key security challenge in the twenty first century. This unit examines the strategies of coercion which underpin the use of political violence. It uses key concepts from strategic, diplomacy and negotiation studies to explore the logic and intentions of violent political actors. It then examines the effects, both intended and unintended, of political violence. The unit uses examples from campaigns of political violence perpetrated by states and other actors and evaluates the responses of targets to strategies of violent coercion. The unit uses a range of Western and non-Western perspectives to explore the complexity of contemporary terrorism and political violence.
