中文简介:
本课程是对最近关于暴力非国家行为者的政治学文献的总体概述。其目的是研究非国家行为者(如军阀、恐怖分子、民兵等)为何诉诸暴力,他们使用什么手段和策略,以及可以采取哪些措施来对抗这种暴力。在这方面,该课程将涵盖与非国家暴力的生产方面有关的作品(即叛乱分子/恐怖分子/民兵/军阀的目标和组织、他们的动员战略和支持基础、他们如何胁迫对手等);以及暴力引起政府或其他行为者的反应(即反叛乱或反恐战略等)。除了介绍文献中的基本变量以及理论和实证发现外,本课程还将解决与在暴力冲突领域进行研究相关的变量的定义、操作化和一般方法等问题。虽然以主题为导向,但本课程还将参考当代叛乱和恐怖主义战场(无论是阿富汗、伊拉克、巴基斯坦、约旦河西岸和加沙、哥伦比亚等)的案例,因为它们与相关主题有关。
课程简介: This course is a general overview of the recent political science literature on violent non-state actors. Its aim is to examine why non-state actors (such as warlords, terrorists, militias, etc.) resort to violence, what means and tactics they use, and what can be done to counter that violence. In that regard, the class will cover works pertaining to the production side of non-state violence (i.e. the objectives and organization of insurgents/terrorists/militias/warlords, their mobilization strategies and support base, how they coerce opponents, etc.); as well as the response that violence elicits from governments or other actors (i.e. counter-insurgency or counter-terrorism strategies, among others). Apart from introducing the basic variables and theoretical and empirical findings in the literature, this course will also grapple with questions of definition, operationalization of variables, and general methodology relevant to conducting research in this area of violent conflict. Though thematically-driven, this course will also reference cases from the contemporary battlefields of insurgency and terrorism (be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, the West Bank and Gaza, Colombia, etc.) as they relate to the pertinent themes.
