Temple University 3 credits HIST
This course will examine the rise of modern global terrorism from the rise of left-wing Marxist/Leninist terrorism in the 1960s to Jihadi terrorism in the 21st century. The first half of the course will touch on the historical antecedents of terrorism and then look more deeply at such terrorist groups as the IRA in Ireland, ETA in Spain, the Brigate Rosse in Italy, the Red Army Faction in Germany, the FARC and ELN in Colombia, and Shining Path (Sendero Luminso) and Tupac Amaru in Peru. The second half of the course will examine the transition to the beginnings of a different kind of terrorism that emerged in the 1990s and continues, ever more violently and more effectively, to this day. We will also look at the role of state terrorism. Repeat credit warning: This course is equivalent to HIST 2921. Students may only earn credit for either HIST 2521 or HIST 2921.
