Objectives of the Course

The main objective of this course is to focus on the three important phenomenons that have recently been discussed widely. On the one hand the phenomenon of globalization led to the revival of religion in social and gradually in the political life, on the other and for many reasons it caused the political violence. In this course we will examine these three concepts separately by following the world literature. But at the same time will investigate how they affect each other by using popular extremist or terrorist religious groups to gain better insight.
