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

该奖项是通过国家安全，冲突和合作竞争的社会和行为层面资助的，这是NSF和国防部之间的合资企业。叛乱和恐怖主义威胁所带来的挑战需要新一代的学术和专业领导人谁拥抱多学科，跨界方法。 特别是，这些未来的领导人需要制定将（美国军队和盟国的）安全规定、经济发展和政治发展结合起来的联合收割机方法。这种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一个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。该研讨会将针对博士。学生和早期职业教师，但也将包括美国国际开发署人员和来自美国军方的官员。本次研讨会的运作前提是简单和可论证的：从恐怖主义的政治经济学研究中传达新见解的最富有成效的方式是让下一代研究人员参与紧张的多学科学习环境。讲习班的具体目标是为一批年轻的研究人员和从业人员提供理论工具、背景、数据和联系人，以便对恐怖主义和叛乱的政治经济进行新的研究。

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.
