Seminar in Terrorism and Homeland Security

Catalog description

This survey course addresses the definition of domestic and international conflict; its modalities (e.g., armed conflict, terrorism, economic coer - cion, and environmental degradation); types of threats (e.g., nuclear, bi- ological, and chemical); the public law of conflict management; and the U.S. response to external conflict within the confines of domestic and international legal principles recognized by the United States (including constitutional issues). The course has an interdisciplinary character but is ultimately guided by the international and domestic rule of law.
