The paper will examine the methodology, ideology and activities of one currently active international terrorist group (you choose). You will analyze its origins, its purpose, its structure, its successes and failures, as well as future prospects in order to assess the groups ideological goals and military capabilities. Are their ideological goals realistic given their resources? What threat does the organization pose?
The paper will be no longer than 14 pages and no less than 10 (equivalent to double-spacing on 8.5 by 11 paper). Spelling and grammar matter, as does the clarity and organization of your writing through a well articulated thesis. The paper must have a title page and a bibliography. All pages except the title page must be numbered. The title and bibliography do not count toward the page limit. I have given you a few extra days after classes end since the end of term can be very hectic.
