MSJC Lecture - Terrorism & and the Politics of Violence

  • Western Science Center 2345 Searl Parkway Hemet, CA, 92543 United States (map)

Presented by Stacey Searl-Chapin, MSJC Political Science

Contrary to popular discourse, terrorism is not an ideology in and of itself, but rather a form of political violence different groups and ideologies use to achieve their goals. In addition to defining terrorism, this talk looks at the "logic" of terrorism, as well as the strategies used to achieve its goals. Finally, the question of what steps societies can take to address terrorism and political violence will be discussed.
