Part I: European Union
Politics and government in Europe are much different than in the United States. As we start the class, we need to understand the political development of modern Europe, and we build into homeland security issues as we progress.
In this forum, discuss "Europeanization," and analyze how the fall of the Soviet Union impacted the development of Europe and the European Union.
Part II: Modern Terrorism
For this discussion, consider how we define terrorism. Although terrorism is inherently political, the specific motivations and purposes vary across definitions. As noted in Chapter 1, David Rapoport identified four modern waves of terrorism:
1) Anarchist
2) Anticolonial
3) New Left
4) Religious Waves
Considering Rapoport's four modern waves, explore the modern causes of terrorism in Africa. Are they anarchist? Anticolonial? New Left? Religious? Is there a common thread?
