16th WINTER COURSE    ANDALO - ITALY  9-16 FEBRUARY, 2003

"THE SURGE IN NONSTATE VIOLENCE: ROOTS, IMPACTS AND COUNTERMEASURES"

ISODARCO has been organizing residential courses on global security since 1966.
The courses are intended for people already having a professional interest in
the problems of international conflicts, or for those who would like to play a
more active and technically competent role in this field. The courses have an
interdisciplinary nature, and their subject matters extend from the technical
and scientific side of the problems to their sociological and political
implications.
This will be the third time an ISODARCO course will focus on the problem of
NonState Violence.  Courses on this topic were organised in 1974 and 1978 when
NonState or SubState violence had the limited attention of specialists. Now,
after the dramatic events of the year 2002, Isodarco returns to the discussion
of these problems.

Confirmations are expected from additional eminent scholars who have been
