POL 220 - War, Revolution, and Resistance


This course inquires into one of the most intractable problems of our time–the phenomenon of political violence and its most common manifestations, e.g., war and revolution. In analyzing this phenomenon, emphasis will be placed on its origins, underlying motivations, and consequences. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying and defining the criteria that distinguish justifiable from unjustifiable violence.
