The Future of Extremism / Terrorism
For this writing assignment, you are tasked with surveying the current literature and media reporting to develop an assessment of the current status of terrorism or extremism as it relates to the United States and our interests. It is suggested that you focus on either domestic OR international extremism, simply due to the short nature of the assignment. Your work should assess the current status of terrorism / extremism, and trends that are indicative of where the threat is going or how it is transforming, and an assessment of our level of preparedness (or lack thereof) in being able to identify, disrupt, and/or respond to a terrorist attack. Your work should conclude with a reference-supported assessment of where the threat of terrorism / extremism will be in the next 10 to 20 years.
