Course Description: | This course examines modern political crime specifically as phenomena in which non-elite political actors use violence, speech acts, or information in ways that challenge both political institutions and their legal systems. It takes a case study approach and pays close attention to the social, political, and international ramifications of such acts in a global context. While this is a Global History class, there is a particular emphasis on Europe. Specific areas of interest include modern technology, styles of political dissidence, police and legal prosecution, the politics of biography, media and propaganda, and the ideological and emotional components of political crime. |
