This course examines the history and sociology of political violence. In this course, we examine forms and developments of political violence, and offer an overview of the most important recent ideas and debates on the subject. The objective of the course is to develop advanced knowledge and understanding of various forms and aspects of political violence and to provide you with some tools to disaggregate and analyze phenomena such as (civil) wars, revolts, terrorism and revolutions.
Using a variety of case studies, the overarching goal of this course is threefold:
(1) To explore and study what collective political violence is. Violence is often described by academics as a ‘slippery’ and ‘elastic’ concept. Why is violence so slippery? And how can we get a better grip on its ‘slipperiness’?
(2) To explore and study if and how collective political violence changes over time. Is the world becoming a safer or more dangerous place? Studying violence in the long run lead to contrary outcomes: some scholars claim that violence is clearly on the rise, while others see a downward trend. How is that possible?
(3) To explore and study the sources of collective political violence. Violence is often not caused by one, but a multiplicity of factors. We will emphasize the need to distinguish between different types of causes (e.g. triggers of violence, structural causes) and the need to disaggregate the phenomenon of violence at different levels (micro, meso, macro).
