Introduction to Political Violence

Credit: 3 hours.

Political violence is ubiquitous. States, non-state actors, and individuals often resort to violence in pursuit of political goals, with potentially devastating consequences. This course explores a variety of forms of political violence, from wars, coups, and ethnic conflict to riots, terrorism, repression, and genocide. It concludes by exploring the alternative: non-violent resistance. Students will develop a working knowledge of these different types of political violence, their causes, and consequences.

Credit is not given toward graduation for PS 244 if credit for PS 199 Section AL1 (Undergraduate Open Seminar: Intro to Political Violence) has already been earned.
