Globalization

Intelligence analysts working in the national security community regularly respond to questions from the President and senior policymakers about how global events might affect US interests. Analysts receive tactical questions about current events, strategic questions about long-term trends, and hybrid, multi-pronged questions.  Draw from your understanding of current international affairs to prepare five questions that President Trump might ask the intelligence community as his administration seeks to advance U.S. interests around the world. Identify whether each question is a current or strategic question.

This assignment is an introduction to food security, defined by the UN as having continual physical and economic access to food. The Reveron and Mahoney-Norris chapter from 6.1 discussed the status of food security globally, and these readings present various aspects of the threat. The Messer and Cohen reading probes the relationship between food security, conflict, and the processes of globalization, while the World Food Programme study on Yemen provides a detailed examination of food security in a country. As you are reading, consider both the connection between food insecurity and other types of human security threats and the impacts of globalization on food security, particularly in the context of Yemen. READINGS • Conflict, Food Insecurity, and Globalization (Food, Culture & Society: An International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research – PDF) (ATTACHED) Read the entire article. • Comprehensive Food Security Survey: The State of Food Security and Nutrition in Yemen (World Food Programme – PDF)(ATTACHED) Read the entire article. ASSIGNMENT: Based on the readings, write a response paper answering the following questions (500 words minimum): 1. How can other human security threats influence food security, and how does food insecurity influence other human security threats (within a country and elsewhere)?  2. What are some ways international actors and the processes of globalization (economic, political, or social) can impact food vulnerability? How can globalization also have a positive impact on food security? Discuss these questions in the context of the case of Yemen.

Write a research paper addressing the following global terrorism issues: In week 3, we discussed the Dilemmas in the Deterrence of Terrorists (Chapter 4 in The Counter Terrorism Puzzle). Why is deterring terrorists a challenge? Do you think terrorists be deterred? Address both sides of the argument (through diplomacy, information, military, economic, financial, intelligence and law enforcement (D.I.M.E.F.I.L.) means). The U.S. Government published the most recent National Strategy for Counterterrorism (NSCT) in October 2018. For this second topic you are to develop a framework for a brand-new National Strategy for Counter Terrorism of the United States. Address both domestic (homeland) components and offensive overseas elements. Make sure to address how you will balance domestic security with civil liberties at home and how you will be effective in dealing with terrorists abroad without creating even more terrorists in the process. Make sure your framework employs all elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, military, economic, intelligence, law enforcement, financial). Also describe the importance of gathering all sources of domestic and overseas intelligence for effective counter terrorism efforts. You do not need to write an entire strategy, just the outline or framework for a new NSCT; an executive summary or details of your pillars or plan of action for a comprehensive strategy. [See below diagram explaining the first National Strategy for Combating Terrorism in 2003.] Technical Requirements: Your paper should be at a minimum 5-6 pages (the Title Page and Reference page will be additional pages). Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space. Students will follow the APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.  Use a minimum of (10) scholarly sources to support your paper.
