Pre-Empting Nuclear Terrorism in a New World Order -- Argues for more attention on failed and failing states than on rogue states, and for a greater emphasis on true deproliferation (as opposed to controlled maintenance, which is seen in the poorly named Non-Proliferation Treaty).
License to Hide--This report grades the states on their success in preventing driver's licenses from being fradulently obtained. More than half of states received a "C" or lower, a growing crisis in a post-9/11 world. Read the press release for the report.
The State of Society--Has American society fundamentally changed since September 11?
“The State of Society: A Rush to Pre-9/11,” argues that in many ways American society is “normalizing,” or shaking off the effects of September 11,
and that some pre-September 11 trends remain in place over a year after the attack.
American Society in the Age of Terrorism--How has American society changed
since the terrorist attacks? This paper provides an extensive analysis of
data gathered on sociological changes in a post-September 11 American society.
Findings that the report addresses include they way Americans are more committed
to family, are more spiritual- but not more active in organized religion, remain
tolerant of people who are different- including Muslim Americans, and are expressing
higher levels of patriotism.
Rights and Responsibilities After 9/11--The threat of future
terrorist attacks have required the government to initiate new safety measures that some criticize
as encroaching on one's individual rights. Amitai Etzioni explores how new safety measures and spying
technologies actually further protect one's rights and privacy, and he analyzes surveys that suggest
that the higher the public's level of fear, the greater people's willingness to curtail liberty in
order to protect public safety.
