"Global Agenda 2002"
Writing Assignment #1
"Jihad!"
Due: Wednesday, February 20
Research:
In the past two decades, international terrorism incidents have
undergone a notable shift in their focus. Gradually, terrorism has
moved from being predominantly politically motivated to being
predominantly ideologically or religiously motivated. This shift has
affected the targets of terrorism, its methods of winning support,
and methods of combatting it.
Write:
Using resources available on the Global Agenda web site, and others
you find, write a 4-5 page paper illustrating these shifts. Use
specific terrorism examples to demonstrate the trend, and show how
the United States (and, perhaps, others) have changed their response
to international terrorism. Please don't review every incident of
terrorism in your paper; instead, choose specific cases which
illustrate your points.
Things to remember:
