Beskrivelse

During the past 25 years, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences, have carried out a wide variety of activities to improve understanding of the challenges in containing and reducing ethnic conflicts, violent extremism, and terrorism. Roots and Trajectories of Violent Extremism and Terrorism provides an overview of this cross-ocean program, which has involved American and Russian scientists, engineers, and medical professionals from a large number of government agencies, leading research institutions, think tanks, educational institutions, analytical centers, and consulting and commercial firms in the two countries. This report highlights challenges addressed by the academies over many years that remain of current interest as the U.S., Russian, and other governments continue to cope with old and new forms of aggression that threaten the livelihood of populations at home and abroad.Table of ContentsFront MatterIntroduction and Acknowledgments1 Ethnic Conflicts within Russia2 Acceptable Limits on Biological Research3 Radiological Challenges: Security, Sources, Waste Sites, andDisposal4 Security of Transportation, Industrial, Construction,Communications, and Other Urban Challenges5 Interests in the Middle East and Beyond6 Continuing Inter-Academy Cooperation in a Changing WorldAppendix A: The Kona StatementAppendix B: Characteristics of Early Ethnic Monitoring Network inRussia and BeyondAppendix C: Lessons Learned from a Terrorist Attack in a MoscowTheater (Yevgeny Kolesnikov)Appendix D: Terrorist Attack at a School in the North Caucasus(Gennady Kovalenko)Appendix E: New Trends in Monitoring Multiethnic Russia (ValeryTishkov)Appendix F: Final Stages in Disposition of Radioactive Waste(Vladislav A.
