    Description

    Political violence occurs in a variety of forms, ranging from organized masses engaged in state-sponsored conflict (i.e., war) to a lone assassin’s bullet striking down a national leader. This course examines both of these forms and more. Attention is also given to the following question: Is there any moral justification for the use of violence in pursuit of a political goal?
