3. SCTY 488 Course Description
• Although terrorism has been a known phenomenon for centuries, it
has become the most frequent form of conflict in the late 20th
century.
• Success in preventing nuclear warfare and in curbing the outbreak
of most conventional war has resulted in more forms of low
intensity violence, a significant feature of which is overt terrorism.
Ideological hardening, ethnic militancy, and religious revivalism have
fueled terrorist ambitions.
• Broadly speaking, there are three types of terrorism, classified on
the basis of actors. The course will address all three types:
• Domestic US
• International or group directed
• State sponsored
4. SCTY 488 Course Goals
