Fall 2017 Seminar Series- Failed Governance, Authoritarianism, and Salafi Jihadism

in the Middle East and North Africa: Exploring the Connections, Project on Middle

East Democracy, Washington, DC


Course Description:

An eight-week evening seminar geared toward young professionals in foreign policy,

NGOs, research institutes, journalism, etc. Countering Salafi jihadist terrorist groups such

as the Islamic State and Al Qaeda that inflict violence upon Arab countries and far beyond

remains the overwhelming focus of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and North

Africa. Yet after 16 years of the “War on Terror,” and the expenditure of billions of dollars

and countless U.S. military engagements in the region, these groups have gained followers,

expanded their influence, and increased their lethality. The drivers of Salafi jihadism and

related violence are complex, and how to address the underlying factors behind the problem

is the focus of great deal of debate among experts. This seminar will explore one set of

factors exploited by terrorists—state repression; unaccountable, corrupt, and failed

governance; and political exclusion and alienation in the Arab world. The course will

examine the ideology and evolution of Salafi jihadist groups; delve into case studies of

several Arab countries representing U.S. counterterrorism priorities; and discuss the role

of promoting democratic governance and human rights in U.S. counterterrorism strategies

in the region. Speakers will include former U.S. officials, scholars, and other experts.

these sexed/gendered/queered?

understanding diplomatic practices?

Intern, Consortium on Gender, Security, & Human Rights, Boston, Massachusetts

The Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights is an organization devoted to

bringing knowledge about gender to bear on the quest to end armed conflicts and build

sustainable peace. Founded in 2002, and now based at the University of Massachusetts

Boston, its work is a result of collaboration between scholars and researchers, as well as

NGOs and international institutions such as the United Nations. Through knowledge-

building workshops, conferences, publications, speaker events, and fellowship and

internship programs, the Consortium generates critical new thinking and engagement on

gender, war and peacebuilding, providing a necessary bridge between research, activism

and policymaking. Because we are a small, non-profit organization, our interns are integral

to the successful execution of all of our core activities, from research to the management

of the Consortium itself. Additionally, we see our internship program is a key part of

fulfilling our mission to educate emerging scholars and professionals, so we strive to

provide interns with educational opportunities and mentorship.

Responsibilities:

The responsibilities vary and are determined individually for each intern. Our staff meets

with each incoming intern to come up with a mix of assignments that best matches the

intern's learning goals and skills with the Consortium's current needs. This internship

provides interns with the opportunity to see how a small-NGO functions on a day-to-day

basis as well as develop their own leadership skills as an essential part of this organization.

Typical intern tasks include:

• Assisting in the management of the organization, including serving as an

administrative liaison between staff and potential interns, and providing HR and

front office support;

• Supporting the expansion of the Consortium's Research Hub;

• Researching a topic of interest to the intern and the Consortium; and
