Day 1, Monday July 22 nd Prof. Jez Littlewood, Carleton University 1) David A. Charters, The (Un)Peaceable Kingdom? Terrorism and Canada before 9/11 IRPP Policy Matters 9:4 (2008) pp.1-43 http://www.irpp.org/en/research/security-and-democracy/theunpeaceable-kingdom/ 2) An additional optional choice for participants unfamiliar with the subject of terrorism is to consider borrowing or purchasing: Richard English, Terrorism: How to Respond (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010) http://global.oup.com/academic/product/terrorism- 9780199229987;jsessionid=A38664247E69BDE6BAC9B41A4291FF1 D?cc=ca&lang=en& You may also purchase this book on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0199590036 3) While this short book is focused on the British experience with the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the contemporary threat from Al Qaeda and its ilk, the text provides an excellent and very accessible introduction to the subject of terrorism from the perspective of a liberal democracy.
