The course familiarises the student with the study of radicalization and resistance, which is an area of scholarly growth and topical interest in international relations, political science, sociology and anthropology. The program will cover various forms of radicalization, from political elite driven ethnic and religious radicalization as occurred in pre-WWII Germany or in post-Cold War Serbia to bottom up radicalization driven by structural marginalization, as occurred in Northern Ireland or is currently occurring throughout West Africa and the Sahel.

The course familiarises the student with the study of radicalization and resistance, which is an area of scholarly growth and topical interest in international relations, political science, sociology and anthropology. The program will cover various forms of radicalization, from political elite driven ethnic and religious radicalization as occurred in pre-WWII Germany or in post-Cold War Serbia to bottom up radicalization driven by structural marginalization, as occurred in Northern Ireland or is currently occurring throughout West Africa and the Sahel. The program will also provide an overview of alternative forms of resistance such as non-participation, protest, work stoppages, and other forms of non-violent action, through examples such as the US civil rights movement and the independence movement in India, as well as the various non-violent political revolutions that characterized much of post-Cold War Eastern Europe.
