The lecture deals with sociology of conflict (K. Marx, L. Coser, R. Dahrendorf, Ch. W. Mills) and with the main approaches to the sociology of revolution (P. Sorokin, J. Davies, T. Gurr, Ch. Tilly, C. Brinton, J. Alexander) including selected case studies (for example the Czechoslovac Velvet revolution of 1989, Arab Spring of 2011). It also partly deals with proto-sociology of war, (K. Marx, C. Clausewitz, T. Malthus, V. Lenin, J. Hobson, I. Kant), selected examples of sociology of war (P. Sorokin, Ch. Tilly, M. Kaldor, H. Joas, M. Klare, H. Dixon, S. Huntington), and sociology of terrorism (sociology of religious terrorism of M. Juergensmeyer, suicide terrorism covered by R. Pape).
