NSCC/W: Workshop on The Political Economy of Terrorism and Insurgency

该奖项是通过国家安全、冲突和合作的社会和行为维度竞赛资助的，这是美国国家科学基金会和国防部的合资企业。叛乱和恐怖主义威胁带来的挑战需要新一代学术和专业领导人接受多学科、跨国界的方法。特别是，这些未来的领导人需要制定将安全保障(由美国军队和盟国提供)、经济发展和政治发展相结合的方法。此类研究的一个制约因素是缺乏训练有素的年轻学者来评估干预措施和发展理论。该项目将组织和领导为期六天的关于恐怖主义和叛乱的政治经济学的多学科培训讲习班。研讨会将面向博士生和早期职业教师，但也将包括美国援助人员和从美国军方抽调的军官。这一讲习班的运作前提简单明了：交流对恐怖主义政治经济学研究的新见解的最有成效的方式是让下一代研究人员参与密集、多学科的学习环境。讲习班的具体目标是使一批年轻的研究人员和从业人员掌握理论工具、背景、数据和联系，以便对恐怖主义和叛乱的政治经济学进行新的研究。

This award was funded through the Social and Behavioral Dimensions of National Security, Conflict, and Cooperation competition, a joint venture between NSF and the Department of Defense.The challenges posed by insurgencies and the threat of terrorism require a new generation of academic and professional leaders who embrace a multidisciplinary, cross-boundary approach. In particular, these future leaders need to develop approaches that combine security provisions (by U.S. forces and allies), economic development and political development. A binding constraint on such research has been a lack of trained young scholars to evaluate interventions and develop theory. This project will organize and lead a six-day multidisciplinary training workshop on the political economy of terrorism and insurgency. The workshop will be aimed at Ph.D. students and early career faculty, but will also include US AID personnel and officers drawn from the U.S. military. The operating premise for this workshop is simple and demonstrable: the most fruitful way to communicate new insights from research on the political economy of terrorism is by engaging the next generation of researchers in an intense, multidisciplinary learning environment. The specific goal of the workshop is to equip a cohort of young researchers and practitioners with the theoretical tools, background, data and contacts to conduct fresh research on the political economy of terrorism and insurgency.
