Global Migration, Terrorism and Integration

This workshop will examine the phenomena of global migration, integration and terrorism; and the nexus of all three. Whether economic or refugee based, migration brings together peoples and cultures in ways like never before. Improper integration, not just lack thereof, creates fertile ground for radicalization and violence, while mass migration allows for the easy infiltration into states. The workshop will analyze the risks (and opportunities) migration and integration pose, the ways in which terrorists can take advantage of the situation, and the possibilities counter-terrorist actors have in prevention.
