Insurgency: U.S. Civil War in the 21st Century? with Barbara F. Walter

Barbara Walter, an expert in Civil Wars, discusses the concept of a 21st-century civil war, emphasizing that it is different from traditional civil wars and is more akin to an insurgency. It explains how insurgents use unconventional tactics such as guerrilla warfare, assassinations, and targeted attacks rather than engaging the military directly. She highlights examples from history and speculates on how a civil war in the United States might manifest in modern times, mentioning incidents like the Oklahoma City bombing and targeted attacks on specific groups like Jews and Latinos. Walter is the Rohr Professor of International Relations at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California, San Diego. A life member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Walter helps to run the award-winning blog Political Violence at a Glance and has written for The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Reuters, and Foreign Affairs.
