Do any ONE of these prompts.
Q1. Debates and squabbles about the definition of terrorism endure.

Q2. After graduation, you are hired to consult with the FBI and State Department on their ongoing domestic and international counter-terrorism efforts, thanks to that one class on terrorism you took in college! They want to know how best to use terrorism designations to stigmatize, punish and stop terrorists. For instance, they are specially interested in how they could designate white supremacist groups as terrorists.
You know, from your readings that terrorism is a powerful, yet contested, label. Using contemporary and historical cases, outline to them on the advantages and/or problems of labeling or designating groups as terrorists. What are the potential drawbacks of such a strategy? Is there any systematic way to think about labeling – what are the best practices they should keep in mind? Or should they resign themselves to the current dilemmas stemming from the unsettled definition of terrorism? Write them a memo explaining your reasoning and your recommendations for how they should proceed.

Q3. How can we simultaneously delegitimize the use of terrorism while legitimizing the struggle of oppressed people that may not have non-violent means to address their grievances? In other words, how can we reconcile the norm of self-determination with those against terrorism? Using Walzer, Mandela, and Bajpiai, discuss whether there are any common ideas that emerge from these thinkers that help us come up with a set of criteria to determine when and under what conditions violence can ever be justified.
