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

ISODARCO has organized residential courses on global security since 1966
primarily in Italy but also in China, Germany and Jordan with the generous
support of private foundations and International and National Institutions
and Organizations. The courses are intended for those who would like to
play a more active and technically competent role in the field of
international conflicts as well as those who already have a professional
interest and experience in this field. The courses are intensive,
interactive and interdisciplinary in focus. The subject matters spans not
only the technical and scientific dimensions of these problems but also
their sociological and political implications.
This will be the sixth time an ISODARCO course will examine the problem of
non-state violence. The first courses on this topic were organized in 1974
and 1978 when only a few specialists were concerned with the issues of
non-state or sub-state violence. After the dramatic events of this decade
they were followed by three other courses.
