A useful book for students new to PV. This acquaints students with an understanding of terrorism and the instrumental use of PV>
This text is very good but is not relevant to the programme.
Nice addition to the syllabus. Won't be a core reading, but recommended. Interesting chapters, but will be hard to "sell" chapters from graduate students on well established topics if there are so many advanced scholars out there who have worked on the topic.
