Instead it aims at exploring some controversies and dilemmas concerning terrorism. The course starts with clarifying the meaning of terrorism, then proceeds to explore the behavioral pattern of terrorist as well as their motivations and some of the consequences of their actions. The course uses scientific articles, policy papers, and expert accounts in order to explore terrorism at different parts of the world.Learning outcomesBy the end of this course, students will be able to• Articulate the meaning of terrorism• Recognize its causes and possible consequences• Understand the complexities that involves fighting terrorism• Demonstrate the understanding of grading criteria
