FEATURED FACULTY

Barbara P. Billauer

President, Foundation for Law and Science Centers; IWP Research Professor of Scientific Statecraft

Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Terrorism has been well-defined as "the deliberate and systematic murder, maiming, and menacing of the innocent to inspire fear for political ends." Our study of "Terrorism" dwells on current source materials, questions and challenges—from the newly-relevant Charter of Hamas to emergent terrorism and insurgency among the Baluch people of Pakistan to the question of why the Basque ETA has just suspended all militant actions.
