INTL 434 AMU Economic Factors and Threat Assessments Discussion.
Question Description
Discussion forum.
Context: Economic activity and its impact both on
the US/allies and on adversary state and non-state actors is an area
with much complexity, requiring a nuanced analytic approach–we care in
INTL434 because the second order effects of economic downturns are
important factors for long-term predictive threat assessments.
Question: Discuss how economic factors impact threat
assessments and relate one contemporary example of an economic factor
that might contribute to the higher likelihood of a threat to US national security interests within a foreign country. Does Moore’s Sensemaking approach (pg. 105-129) offer any ideas on how to conduct threat assessments using economic factors?
