ICJ 755 Terrorism and Transnational Crime
This course will explore the intersection of terrorism and transnational crime. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there has been an increasing concern about the convergence of these threats to the security of the international community. This course will examine the role of globalization in the growth of transnational illicit enterprises, the interaction between terrorist and transnational organized crime groups, and the extent to which terrorist groups are engaged in various illicit enterprises. The course will critically examine the nature of the relationship by considering the concepts of terrorism and transnational crime and explore various strategies and instruments of national power to combat and mitigate the threat.
