4) Fourth Seminar: Monday, April 12

“Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism”

In the face of global terrorism, we now face what many experts think is the greatest challenge that intelligence services have ever confronted. Your task is to examine how terrorist organisations work: how they are structured and how they operate. You are also required to examine how counter-terrorism operations work. What measures should be taken in combating terrorism? How far should a government go in protecting its people? Please keep in mind the political, religious, ethnic, racial, and ideological sensitivity of others, especially in light of recent and current events. There is a wealth of web, television, and print information available on terrorism, but don’t forget to consider the legal, social, and ethical dimensions of these questions. It is highly recommended that in addition to these sites, you search for information and discussion on the pros and cons of anti-terror legislation, the “war on terror” and like matters.
