Georgetown University: ONLINE FALL 2017
1(DRAFT040817GUPolTerrLewisBuckleyBALS)Georgetown University: ONLINE FALL 2017BLHV 274-101: Politics of Terrorism: Just War, Torture, Drones, and HumanitarianInterventionProfessors William J. Buckley and Paul Lewiswjb22@georgetown.edu; pl33@georgetown.eduHow do bullets and ballots affect each other? This exciting course explores thereality and interpretations of Terrorism(s), Torture, Drones, and HumanitarianInterventions. “Politics of Terrorism” focuses on their roles in American nationalelections by means of readings, lectures, media, research and focuseddiscussions. “Politics of Terrorism” weighs vibrant electoral processes, livinginstitutions and actual, historical personalities exercising executive power, withpressing foreign policy challenges and nuanced theories of international relations(e.g. termed realism, liberalism and constructivism). For example, do wars andwarlike behaviors make presidents into kings— “act[ing] on executive power as accelerant, causing it to burn hotter, brighter, and swifter” or do they actuallyconstrain leaders with fewer real choices (Yoo, 2009, vii in Howell, 2015)? Closeexamination of political lessons learned from actual cases, yields different (andsometimes rival) interpretive frameworks. Weekly online practice in learning andapplying these interpretive skills to our national elections enables students togain new insights into the politics of terrorism, here and elsewhere.WHAT MUST I DO AS STUDENT? This course is highly interactive. All coursereadings, videos, notes and outline materials are posted online. Each week,students do six items online: review learning goals, watch a video(s), readselected posted readings, post a one page essay (250 words) that answers anassigned posted question about the readings and video(s), post responses toother student answers, and work on a self-chosen end of semester researchproject with the Instructor. Every other week, students may choose to participatein a real-time Blackboard online chat with course Instructors. Detailed instructions,outlines, transcripts and notes for all course materials are available online.WEEKTOPICPrior ToCourseONLINEMEETINGWEEK 1:Posted workDeadlineSunday SEPT03VIDEOEsposito (or)PresidentialElections andTerrorism TalkTrump andClinton; ueller, Ghosh, Biog BlogEsposito, Online ScavengerKelsayHunt VARK selfinventory Honors PledgeGinsberg,Analysis: 09/11Tilley, Kegley,doc, ORGelb, Arthur,CandidateLim, Reus-Smit Speeches ORand Snidal;Party Platforms1

In 2012 the Republican platform, under“American Exceptionalism,” used “terror[ism]” some 25 times. In 2016 “Islamicterrorism” is used four times in the Republican platform, and “terror/ism” some 21other times, and “national security” 18 times. For Democrats, the 2012 Platformuses “terrorism” in a more focused way than "the Bush administration's sweepingand internationally-divisive rhetoric of a global war on terrorism [to a focus]against an identifiable network of people: al-Qaeda and its affiliates .” but uses“national security” some twelve times. In 2016 the Democratic platform usesterror/ism 22 times (typically but not always in relation to ISIS) and “nationalsecurity” six sb.edu/papers pdf/117717.pdf;for 2012 at aws.com/media/documents/DRAFT 12 FINAL[1]ben 1468872234.pdf and 2012 at https://www.gop.com/platform/.“What to look for?” Key Question: From our posted readings, determine whichamong many models are used to describe terrorism/national security asthreat (crime, war, disease, psychological affliction, etc.). Please notewhether, and if so, where and why there are indications within texts ofbattles over categories used for terror, national security, etc. (E.G. wheredoes the 9/11 document reflect partisan battles fought over the contentand language use to describe terrorism?). Do these embattled termsreflect preferences for any of the models of terrorism/national security8
9discussed in readings? What campaign and policy implications do youthink these choices entail? E.g. Some argue contemporaryterrorism/national security are matters of “war”; others favor modelsbased on public health (“a spreading epidemic”); still others offer legal orjurisprudential frameworks of “crime” (e.g. Cynthia C. Combs, Terrorismin the Twentieth Century, 7th Edition, Upper Saddle River NJ, Pearson,2012; 378); still others prefer categories suggestive of psychologicalafflictions (five grievances: Alienation, Humiliation, Demographics,History, and Territory in Jessica Stern, Terror in the Name of God WhyReligious Militants Kill, New York: Harper Perennial, 2004).
