Assessing Global Security Threats and Risks

[WLOs: 3, 4, 5, 6] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Purpose: The primary purpose of this assignment is to evaluate your knowledge about the threats and risks created by sociopolitical, economic, environmental, and technological security challenges. Also, the assignment will assess your understanding of the major actors, theoretical concepts, and potential responses associated with these challenges. You will be assigned one of the challenges below and your primary effort should analyze it thoroughly by completing the following:

Prepare: Before beginning work on this assignment,

Review all learning materials provided from the past five weeks.

Watch Pankaj Ghemawat | TEDGlobal 2012: Actually, the World Isn’t Flat (Links to an external site.).

Read Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community (Links to an external site.).

Read A Shift in the International Security Environment: Potential Implications for Defense – Issues for Congress (Links to an external site.).

Read The Final Paper Template.

Reflect: Over these past five weeks, you have been introduced to several threats and risks to human and national security. These threats and risks have been broadly assigned four categories but often their impacts and danger overlap. The tools provided to you, including analytical concepts, theories, and historical context will help you complete this Final Paper. Applying what you have learned in an analysis of one preassigned topic below, you will, without doubt, attain a strong analytical foundation in your entire Military Studies program here at Ashford University.

Write: You have been assigned one of the following security challenges based on the first letter of your last name:

If your last name begins with A to I, you must discuss transnational terrorism.

If your last name begins with J to R, you must discuss global climate change.

If your last name begins with S to Z, you must discuss international cyberattacks.

Using a minimum of four credible sources, complete the assignment:

Describe the major security threats and risks posed by this challenge:

What are the economic threats and risks?

What are the sociopolitical threats and risks?

What are the environmental threats and risks?

What are the technological threats and risks?

Identify the major actors involved in this challenge:

Are states involved? Why or why not?

Are nongovernmental/business entities involved? Why or why not?

Are nonprofit organizations involved? Why or why not?

Discuss how various theories would explain this challenge:

How would a realist would explain this challenge?

How would a liberal would explain this challenge?

How would a constructivist explain this challenge?

Identify a potential response to this challenge:

What organizations would be involved?

Would the response be primarily military- or nonmilitary-led and why?

What are two major costs and benefits of this response?
