Will Terrorists Go Nuclear? — 2008
According to a British intelligence report leaked to the press in 2007, al Qaeda operatives are planning a large-scale attack “on par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” But just how likely is such an attack? Offering insights into vital questions of national security, presidential decisionmaking, and terrorist motives, world-renowned terrorism expert Brian Michael Jenkins examines how terrorists think about nuclear weapons and nuclear terror.
Women and Nation-Building — 2008
Using a case study of Afghanistan, this study examines gender-specific impacts of conflict and post-conflict and the ways they may affect women differently than they affect men. It analyzes the role of women in the nation-building process and considers outcomes that might occur if current practices were modified. Recommendations are made for improving data collection in conflict zones and for enhancing the outcomes of nation-building programs.
