Countering traditionalist views, this new University of Kent programme will offer students a critical analysis of the war on terror (and subsequent security responses) based around the latest International Relations research on 'State terrorism', the recent emergence of the field of critical terrorism studies, and sociological and criminological perspectives on violence, risk, and social control. Students will explore the theoretical, methodological, and ethical debates relating to the study of state and non-state violence, and we will consider their implications for various international actors and policy-makers. Students will have input from research-active staff with considerable expertise in the fields of International Relations, Sociology and Criminology.
