Special attention will be paid to the socioeconomic, psychological, ideological, and political reasons for terrorism, as well as to nonviolent alternatives to conventional counter-terrorist operations. We will examine conflicts drawn from the whole of human history and from different cultures. And we will assess the respective advantages and disadvantages of <em>realpolitik<\/em> and more unconventional approaches to the analysis and resolution of the form of political violence called terrorism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Course Instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charles Webel, Ph.D., teaches in International and Area Studies\/Peace and Conflict Studies at Berkeley.
