Since the events of September 11, terrorism has become a priority for the public and for public policy makers. Yet there is still a great deal to learn about the root causes of terrorism and the long-term implications of a policy to fight terrorism throughout the world. Drawing on their expertise, leading authorities and eminent scholars will explore the nature of terrorism, origins and motivations, and the possibilities and implications of responses to terrorism. The conference is open to the public and will include discussion and debate with conference attendees.
