The purpose of the Final Project Preparation (FPP) activity is to ensure that you are in the right direction and on the same
page with your mentor prior to committing to the fullfledged
challenge of the Final Project itself. This activity is not a
recommendation. Experience has proven that ignoring this task does not do wonders for the quality and grade of the Final
Project.
Please submit a succinct abstract of what you have in mind for the Project. All you need to send are two short paragraphs.
In the first, put in the quote you will use as your “Theoretical Framework,” and attribute it properly. For example: “I have
chosen as my ‘theoretical Framework’ Donovan’s assertion that ‘the sky is green in April’ (Mark Donovan, Meteorology, p.
123). In the second paragraph, simply name the 3 terrorist group you will be using for each category.
In your paper you will analyse the soundness of one terrorismrelated
assumption or hypothesis when applied to
three different types of cases:
the first representing ideological terrorism (e.g., BaaderMeinhof
in Germany)
the second representing nationalist terrorism (e.g., the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam in Sri Lanka)
the third religious terrorism (e.g., the alleged Iranian statesponsored
terrorism)Your first step in the production of your
essay is to identify an initial selection of which cases in these three categories you might want to investigate.
