GGH310 Assignment #3

Fall 2015

National Scale Analysis Examples

Prepare a 300-400 word report about at least two (2) of the physical and/or human characteristics of the country that you have chosen to study that you believe contribute to in one way or another to terrorist activity within it. As we have done so in class readings and discussion, it would be particularly appropriate to focus on aspects of its geopolitical history as a state. Think about things such as the number and types of national and ethnic identities within the territorial boundaries of the state. To what extent have nationalist or ethnonationalist movements with the country contributed to potential terrorist activities? What type of state government system does the country have, and to what extent does that potentially contribute to terrorism within the state? What about its territorial morphology? Of course, you can also consider other factors of its physical and human geography, such as the availability of certain resources or its reliance on certain types of economic activites.

FYI: You will eventually need to discuss a total of 4 such examples for your final Core Assessment project, so this is essentially your opportunity to draft at least half of that material.
