- Class Description:
- The focus of this graduate seminar is on a range of issues and debates relating to intra-state violent conflicts. We will examine the fast-growing theoretical and empirical literature on various manifestations of political violence, including insurgencies, civil wars, genocide, riots and terrorism. The readings are selected with a view to cover a diverse set of methodological approaches to studying political violence. Our discussion on political violence will be structured around the following themes: a) causes; b) participation and organization; c) patterns of violence; d) consequences; e) prevention and termination; and, f) post-conflict trajectory.
