EDUCATION INITIATIVE
The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point
is an internationally recognized source of expertise for terrorism
studies. We work to improve our understanding of the foreign and
domestic terrorist threats to security, to educate future leaders
who will have responsibilities to counter terrorism, and to provide
policy analysis and assistance to leaders confronting the current
and future terrorist threat.
The Center develops strategically integrated and balanced perspectives
on national and international security issues. It combines academic,
public policy, and military expertise to create a dynamic, intellectual,
and practical research approach to terrorism, counterterrorism,
weapons of mass destruction, and homeland security issues. Each
area of research is critical for understanding the national security
environment and provides the underpinnings necessary for critical
policy analysis.
The Center seeks to apply theoretical study and
policy analysis in a manner that is useful to our nation’s
leaders. Its staff understands the paramount importance of policy-relevant
research and education in light of the new security environment.
In this way, the Center facilitates educational opportunities
and provides policy analysis to enable greater understanding of
the threats our nation faces in these troubled times.
