MIPT

MIPT and the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation released a new report today exploring uncharted legal issues surrounding terrorism. The report, Terrorism and the Law, is a first for MIPT, providing a perspective from future legal minds regarding potential legal issues the country faces surrounding terrorism.

MIPT’s Junior Fellows include three pre-law students from premiere higher education institutions around the country: Mark Bond, University of Notre Dame, Sam Grover, Wesleyan University, and Scott Nason, University of Oklahoma. The Fellows were competitively chosen from 36 applicants across the nation based on their research skills and understanding of legal issues.

 

 

MIPT explores what has worked and what has not worked with the existing national counterterrorism plan.

In this publication, the Institute examines past terrorism incidents and the response, investigation and lessons learned with the goal of creating a sound counterterrorism doctrine. We hope this will be the beginning of a dialogue on this important issue.

 

 

 

 

 

Professor Stephen Sloan, as part of the MIPT's senior fellows program, releases his publication "The Evolution of Terrorism as a Global Test of Wills: A Personal Assessment and Perspective", a personal narrative of his evolution as a scholar of terrorism.

Professor Stephen Sloan’s research has spanned the past four decades, to include a coup attempt in Indonesia to the Oklahoma City bombing. He has stood out as a leading thinker on the domestic terrorism threat, the transformation of the international environment as well as the need for the integration of local and national intelligence.

 

 

For a comprehensive look at modern terrorism, MIPT offers the findings of the world’s foremost terrorism experts in its publication "Terrorism: What's Coming, The Mutating Threat".
