19th WINTER COURSE
"THE WAR ON TERROR: RESULTS AND COSTS IN EUROPE AND WORLDWIDE"
ANDALO (TRENTO) - ITALY
8-15 JANUARY 2006

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 fifth time an ISODARCO course will focus on the problem of
Non-State Violence.  Courses on this topic were organized in 1974 and 1978
when Non-State or Sub-State violence had the limited attention of
specialists. Now, after the dramatic events of the years 2001 and 2002,
Isodarco has returned to the discussion of these problems organizing the
2003, 2004 and 2005 winter courses.
