POL 466 - From Riots to Revolution

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Description:

Through this course, students will examine "contentious politics," those political phenomena carried out by non-state actors who challenge the government in unconventional ways. These include terrorist attacks, protests, rallies, riots, strikes, revolutions, and insurgencies carried out by civil rights activists, members of environmental organizations, separatists, nationalists, and crime syndicates. We consider the grievances, resources, and political opportunities that give rise to these events and government responses to them. Both violent and nonviolent contention is studied.
