Assignment:
In Poverty, Minority Economic Discrimination and Domestic Terrorism, Piazza describes how, post-9/11, a major thrust of President Bush's foreign policy was using US foreign aid to promote economic development in poor countries, as well as democratic change in illiberal countries, with the aim of reducing violent radicalism. This framework also drove Obama administration counterterrorism initiatives. How do Piazza's findings impact this approach to reducing terrorism? What about the other authors whose work we reviewed?
