Terrorist Group/Case Analysis :
You are examining the terrorist group Boko Haram (a type of group that employs terrorist tactics as a primary tool) and linking the foundational group traits to a specific event or closely linked series of events (campaign).Focus on the attributes and dynamics of the group at the level of its development at the time of the event selected. Briefly describe the context of the group and event, briefly describe the analytical framework that you will apply (one of the analytical frameworks introduced in class or another analytical framework of your choice), and then develop the group and case with focus on the key elements of that framework. Draw conclusions on the case and on the utility of your analytical framework in this case. The emphasis should be on analysis as opposed to simply description of the group and event. Get beyond the "what" to the "why" and "so what." The paper should be 6 to 8 pages and include references.
Results and Response Analysis :
This final analysis in the sequence focuses on the national and international responses to Boko Haram and case that the student addressed in the group/event analysis. Begin this paper with an introduction that includes a very brief summary of the main points from the group/event analysis, and develop a logic thread from those foundational traits to the strategy and the event inherent in this analysis. Then address the national response to this group and event (tools ,national strategy and response targets, implementation, and effects) at the operational and strategic levels. Also discuss and analyze the international dimensions of response to this group and events. Emphasize synergies between the tools, levels of response, and national and international efforts. Conclude with a critical analysis of the response tools, strategies, and implementation, suggesting improvements that are needed to deter or defeat this terrorism. Focus the analysis on the responses to the group and event at the time of that event; updates on subsequent developments can be included, particularly as they flow from the strengths or weaknesses of the responses. The final paper should be 8 to 10 pages and include references.
