POLT 217 - Political Violence

First Semester. This course examines the origins, forms, and outcomes of political violence in the 20 ^th century. Using empirical cases (primarily in Central Africa, Europe, and the former Soviet Union), we will survey the various approaches scholars have taken toward the study of political violence, explore cross-cutting issues (state formation and violence, violence in civil war, and transnational dimensions of violence), and examine several prominent forms of political violence.
