Subject:

POSC - Political Science

Description:

How does an open society counter an organization opposed to democratic freedoms, yet modeled on a Fortune 500 company and exploiting all the assets of an open society? In a globalized environment borders have become largely fluid and social groupings segue into each other with often explosive results. The impetus for terrorist acts is growing; identify the main causes of terrorism as a military, social, economic, and constructivist phenomena. It will survey the function and utility of terrorism as a path for groups or states which employ it and review responses which are available to the Open Society and the international system. Cross-listed with International Relations.
