The Effect Of The Syrian Crisis On Jordanian Internal Security, Andrew E. Szparaga 2014 SIT Study Abroad

The Effect Of The Syrian Crisis On Jordanian Internal Security, Andrew E. Szparaga

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Jordan has a refugee crisis; between 620,000 and 1.3 million Syrian refugees are seeking refuge in Jordan. This report aims to answer which aspect of Jordanian security the refugees have the biggest effect on. It also aims to answer whether the refugees based in camps, like Za’atari, or those integrated into the Jordanian communities are more threatening to internal security. Because many argue that Syrian refugees have a negative effect on the economic, environmental, military, political, and social securities of Jordan, many believe that they might pose a possible threat to the country’s internal security factors. The Syrian refugees have …


Post-9/11 Illegal Immigrant Detention And Deportation: Terrorism And The Criminalization Of Immigration, Stefany N. Laun 2014 Gettysburg College

Post-9/11 Illegal Immigrant Detention And Deportation: Terrorism And The Criminalization Of Immigration, Stefany N. Laun

Student Publications

This paper analyzes the changes in immigration policy since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in terms of how immigrants are viewed in the United States. The goal is to address the recent criminalization of immigration in that the perceptions of terrorists and immigrants have become relatively synonymous since 2001. Although deportations have decreased, immigrant detention has increased significantly. Detention centers pose threats to the basic human rights of the immigrants residing in them, as well as perpetuate the culture of fear enveloping recent immigrants, whether they are legally or illegally in the country, and native United States citizens …

La Guerra Como Una Labor Política: Cómo Usar Las Ciencias Sociales Para Lograr El Éxito Estratégico, Matthew J. Schmidt 2014 University of New Haven

La Guerra Como Una Labor Política: Cómo Usar Las Ciencias Sociales Para Lograr El Éxito Estratégico, Matthew J. Schmidt

Political Science Faculty Publications

En las ciencias sociales contemporáneas, se estudian los fenómenos sociales en términos de variables interdependientes —en lugar de dependientes. Aún para los científicos sociales acostumbrados a ese tipo de investigación, resulta frustrante establecer claras teorías de causa-efecto para los fenómenos que constan de variables interdependientes —fenómenos tales como la guerra. De hecho, los variables interdependientes hacen imposibles las predicciones tipo ciencias duras. Sin embargo, esto no significa que los planteamientos cualitativos deben ser descartados. Más bien, una comprensión del valor y limitaciones de los métodos cualitativos es crucial para una profesión que tiene la tarea de usar la fuerza para …
