This course focuses on international terrorism since 9/11/01 and explores the social, political, and economic origins and intentions of groups such as Al-Qaeda, its affiliates, and recent permutations. Case studies of key international terror attacks are presented to better understand capabilities, including signature complex, multi-level attacks, lone wolf attacks inspired by social media, and large-scale conflicts overseas. Students will explore U.S. counterterrorism efforts overseas, and counterterrorism collaboration with foreign governments and multinational organizations. Finally, students will evaluate the effectiveness of international counterterrorism strategies since 9/11 and recommend ways to address possible future scenarios. The course is designed as a capstone course; therefore, it is strongly suggested that students have completed one of the following: PAFF 2005 Intro to Homeland Security, SOCI 3065 Perspectives on Terrorism, PAFF 3005 Terrorism and Homeland Security, or have prior experience working in counterterrorism.
