    fascism 4 (2015) 209-212 brill.com/fasc Book Review ∵ Mats Deland, Michael Minkenberg and Christin Mays, ed. In the Tracks of Breivik: Far Right Networks in Northern and Eastern Europe (Berlin/ Vienna: lit Verlag, 2014). Four years have already passed since Anders Behring Breivik, apparently single-handedly, committed the most murderous and destructive terrorist atrocity by the far right in post-war Europe. In 2011–2012, particularly during his criminal trial in Oslo, there was a lively public debate in in the Scandinavian media as to whether Breivik was a fascist, or represented some other permuta- tion of the contemporary European far right – an Islamophobic ‘counter-jihad- ist’; a militant, conservative nationalist; or a Christian extremist.1 Somewhat counterintuitively, since then relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted within comparative fascist studies to the implications of Breivik’s deeds, ideology, and self-proclaimed pan-European revolutionary movement. The title of this anthology – In the Tracks of Breivik – would suggest that its primary purpose is to map the far right networks of northern and eastern Europe in relation to the terrorist acts of July 22, 2011. Even if we realize that this formulation is an unfortunate literal translation of the Swedish phrase ‘i spåren av [Breivik]’ – for which a more idiomatic English rendering would be ‘in the wake of [Breivik]’, the implication would still be that the findings of the book are located in some direct relation to Breivik and his crimes. Even the promotional blurb on the back cover, as well as the opening and closing words of the introduction, reinforce this expectation.

  • HLS 225 Legal and Ethical Issues in Homeland Security
    Christopher Wren Association Week 2 Terrorism, Cybersecurity, Disaster Response What We’ll Learn in Week 2 The Homeland Security Enterprise takes a broad “All Hazards” approach to threats—preventing and responding to both man-made and natural threats Terrorism, Cyber, other Man-Made, and Natural Threats are reviewed in Week 2 U.S. interagency responses to these threats have improved since 9/11—but are far from totally ready Fundamental and Powerful Concept: DHS “All Hazards” Threat State (define): all natural and man-made hazards that can threaten the US homeland. Elaborate: includes natural hazards and threats, e.g., weather, geologic, disease, etc., and man-made hazards and threats to include both accidents and deliberate attempts to harm people, infrastructure, or resources. Exemplify: a hurricane is a natural hazard, a bridge or dam collapse is a man-made accident (hazard), a terrorist attack is a man-made hazard. An attack by a foreign military on U.S. territory is not an all hazards attack for DHS action—but is a national security issue to be handled by DOD. Illustrate: as doctors must diagnose and treat a person for all manner of different diseases and other afflictions, the Homeland Security Enterprise is responsible for preparing and responding to U.S. “all hazard” threats Defining the Virginia “All Hazards” Threat Terrorism-Related: WMD Weather-Related: Floods, (Nuclear/Radiological (Dirty Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Tropical Bombs), Chemical, Biological), Storms, Thunderstorms, Winter Explosive Devices (IED, etc.), Cyber

  • Terrorism and Responses Mr
    Terrorism and Responses Mr. Yisrael Neeman Course Number: 702.2199 Office Hours: TBA Semester: Spring 2019 Location: TBA Class Time: Thursday 15:15-17:45 Phone: 04-824-2065 Class Location: TBA E-Mail: [email protected] Course Description: This course will examine the issue of terrorism as a growing form of political violence into the 21st Century. The last three decades of the 20th Century witnessed a phenomenal growth in terrorist activity around the world. Some groups rose and fell quite rapidly, but others have managed sustained campaigns and have achieved spectacular tactical success, among them the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. We will investigate the causes, methods and responses involved in the ongoing conflict between terrorist organizations and their adversaries. Topics covered will include: What is terrorism, as distinct from other forms of violence? What are the objectives of terrorists? What are the strategy and tactics of terrorists? Is suicide terrorism a distinct form of terrorism or another tactic among many? Why do terrorists use the tactics of terrorism? Is the use of terrorist tactics ever justified? What is the history of terrorism and terrorist organizations? What are some of the major terrorist groups active today? How do religious beliefs and ideological dogma aid terrorists? Does terrorism work? Does it achieve strategic goals? How do terrorist organizations transform? Can terrorism be deterred, defeated or prevented? Is there a military solution? Is the use of torture ever justified for extracting information from terrorists? Targeted assassination? Requirements, grades, and so on 1 This course has just a few simple requirements: read the assignments, attend class, participate in discussions, write the papers, and pass the tests.

  • Accelerationism Theory
    CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR SECURITY AND INTELLIGENCE STUDIES VANCOUVER ACCELERATIONISM THEORY BRIEFING NOTE April 12, 2021 Disclaimer: This Briefing Note contains summaries of open sources and does not represent the views of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies. Title: Accelerationsim Theory Date: 12/04/2021 Disclaimer: This briefing note contains summaries of open sources and does not represent the views of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies. PURPOSE STATEMENT This briefing note examines accelerationism theory and its connection to several white nationalist groups that may be considered Violent Transnational Social Movements (VTSM), and the potential threats that accelerationism poses to national security and political stability. Since the mid-2010s, some members of the far-right and white nationalist movements have reportedly embraced and promoted accelerationism as a key component of their ideology using online forums (Anti-Defamation League, 2019; Beauchamp, 2019). This briefing note also examines the reported connections between accelerationism and acts of soft and kinetic violence committed against minorities, immigrant communities, Jewish communities, and governments (Beauchamp, 2019; Dearden, 2020; Waugh, 2019). THE SECURITY PROBLEM Several white nationalist groups that embrace accelerationism emerged in the late 2010s including Atomwaffen Division and The Base. Believers in accelerationism have recently been linked to several instances of soft and kinetic violence, which allegedly aim to de-stabilise existing social structures (Beauchamp, 2019; Dearden, 2020; Waugh, 2019). The continued online promotion of accelerationism poses a serious potential threat to minorities, immigrant communities, Jewish communities, and governments (Beauchamp, 2019). Accelerationists are often radicalised through easily accessible internet sources and encrypted chat rooms.

It has been a long journey, reflecting my own personal experience, vision, story, and family and social relationships.

I really appreciate their contribution to my development as a person and a scholar. My deepest gratitude goes to my advisor, Jim Dator, a talented teacher and passionate futurist, who guided me with his vast knowledge and expertise, and who promptly, answered my questions with comprehensive solutions. I am truly grateful to him for his patience, ongoing support, and wisdom. I would like to thank other committee members for their personal and intellectual support: Manfred Henningsen, Debora Halbert, Hagen Koo, and Jang Hyun Kim. I especially owe a huge debt of gratitude to Debora Halbert who put a lot of effort into the final stages of my writing. She not only edited my work, but also preserved my motivations with her encouragement. I also wish to extend a thank you to Sun-Ki Chai and Jungmin Seo, who were former committee members and inevitably left before the dissertation was completed.
