The ability for agencies within the Intelligence Community to share information/intelligence received a huge boost when Fusion Centers were developed. However, there are still obstacles with sharing information between federal agencies, between federal agencies and state/local law enforcement, and between the military and law enforcement.  Review the obstacles that currently derail interagency intelligence sharing. conclude your essay with your recommendations on how this obstacle should be addressed.

IRLS210 – Midterm Assignment (due 21 February)

Assignment Instructions:  Before you begin this assignment, review the materials from the first 3 weeks of class with special focus on the 3 mainstream theoretical perspectives: realism, liberalism and constructivism. I also recommend reviewing the week 2 forum.

Please write a well-formulated paragraph on the theoretical perspective you think is the most prominent for each the 3 leaders identified below. I have provided links to relevant information on each person. Don’t be surprised if you find information that reflects each of the three mainstream theoretical perspectives for each person. What you’re looking for is the theory that is the most prominent. Which one stands out the most and why?  Be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the theoretical perspectives and to include specific evidence (e.g. words and/or actions of the leader) to support your analysis in each paragraph. I recommend using the MEAL plan to organize your thoughts.

 Russia’s President Putin / United States' President Obama / Iran's President Rouhani

                                       

Materials for President Putin:

Address by Russian President Putin to the Federal Assembly

Russia's Arctic opportunity

Profile: Vladimir Putin

Materials for President Obama:

Profile: Barack Obama

A Referendum on Obama

Materials for President Rouhani:

A Conversation With Hassan Rouhani

What Iran Wants in 2014

 

Each of the three paragraphs should be a minimum of 250 words long and quotes should make up no more than 10% of your submission. Please exclusively use the course materials and the sources provided specifically for this assignment.

Please be sure to put quotation marks around material copied word-for-word from another source and to cite the source. Also, be sure to cite paraphrased information. Please use the Turabian citation style.

Assignment Instructions:

IRLS210 – Progress Assignment (due 14 March)

Assignment Instructions:  For this assignment, please write a précis, which literally means to “cut short”.

Begin by choosing one of the peer-reviewed journal articles from the course materials.  You may use any of the articles in this class.  For your convenience, below is a comprehensive list. As you read, highlight the questions the author is trying to answer.  Then highlight the answers the author found to those questions.

Of Networks and Nations” by John Arquilla 

Human Rights and Business” by Wesley Cragg, Denis Arnold, and Peter Muchlinski

 

Global Gun Control: Examining the Consequences of Competing International Norms” by Suzette Grillot

 

In the Defense of Women: Gender, Office Holding, and National Security Policy in Established Democracies" by Michael Koch and Sarah Fulton

 

This Time It’s Real: The End of Unipolarity and the Pax Americana” by Christopher Layne

 

The Politics of NGOs, Human Rights and the Arab-Israel Conflict" by Gerald Steinberg

 

Terror on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube" by Gabriel Weimann

 

History, International Relations, and Integrated Approaches: Thinking About Greater Interdisciplinarity" by Steve Yetiv

 

Western International Law and China’s Confucianism in the 19th Century: Collision and Integration" by Yang Zewei

Next, write your précis, which consists of a citation and two paragraphs.  At the top of your submission, provide the citation for the article you chose.  Beneath that, begin the first paragraph by explaining the author’s general focus and perspective.  What issue is the author examining and what seems to be the theoretical framework?  Continue on by explaining the answers the author found as a result of the study and include at least three reasons that support them.  Why does the author think his or her answers/conclusions are correct?

In the second paragraph start by assuming that the author’s answers/conclusions are in fact correct.  Why are the author’s ideas important?  What are the implications?  What does this mean for related issues or what else might be true?  For clarification, the objective here is to find the implications of the study.  We sometimes refer to implications as the “so what?” question.  What does all of this mean in the bigger picture?

Your submission should be no more than one page long, double-spaced.  Be sure to paraphrase the author’s words into your own words.  Do not quote the article directly.

 

 

 

INTL301 – FINAL Assignment (due 21 March)
