Study Countering Terrorism and Extremism and develop the critical insight and applied skills needed to understand one of the most complex global challenges of our time. This course will help you make sense of polarising issues by analysing real, high-profile cases and exploring the security and threat dimensions often missing from media coverage.
You’ll examine how terrorism and extremism are understood and addressed in a post-9/11 world, exploring their historical roots and ongoing impact. Topics include power, inequality, identity, ethics, risk, conflict, politics, policy, international relations, and policing powers, giving you a strong contextual understanding of contemporary counter-terrorism strategies.
