.....ending terrorism in Africa, the methods employed should be oriented towards measuring outputs. The outputs that are expected with this particular study are the ending of terrorism in Africa. The inputs are the various strategies and programs that are implemented in order to bring about this outcome. The outcome has to be measured in a quantitative manner in order that a statistical analysis can be performed. Thus, the type of quantitative study that could be utilized here may depend upon the type of evaluation that is to be undertaken.Two types of evaluations could be used here -- a vertical evaluation or a horizontal evaluation. A vertical evaluation is used to measure "specific programs from inception to outcome" while a horizontal evaluation is used to assess "the efforts undertaken by multiple agencies and entities to support a specific government action plan or strategy" (Romaniuk, Fink, 2012, p. 13).
A correlational design would make use of descriptive statistical analysis and involve measuring 2 variables, the central tendency of both plus their variability and relationship. A Pearson r test would be performed to assess the strength and direction of the relationship. The study could look something like: What is the effect...
For this study, a sample could be taken from assessments of various regions where Boko Haram and counter-terrorism policies are present at one time or another. Assessments could be made of what a region was like before the arrival of Boko Haram, then what it was like after the implementation of counter-terrorism policies.
If multiple groups (2 or more) are being studied, then the design could be causal-comparative. Different groups -- regions, cities, towns, villages -- could be compared. The IV could be the counter-terrorism policy and the DV could be the ability of the region to resist Boko-Haram. The control could be regions where no counter-terrorism policy is implemented. Thus the effect of counter-terrorism policy vs. no counter-terrorism policy could be measured. Statistical significance would be measured using a t-test and taking the mean of the measurements and evaluating it in relation to alpha (0.5). Anything above shows no statistical significance while anything below does…
Terrorism in Relation to International Governance The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States highlighted the global threat of terrorism since it changed the ways in which the world views terrorism.

Comparative Analysis of Counter-Terrorism Strategies: USA and IsraelIntroductionThe United States and Israel are two prominent global actors that have had to combat domestic and international terrorism throughout their histories, which has resulted in the development of counter-terrorism strategies. Due to their differences, the two nations� approaches are unique. The U.S. is a large, multicultural federation with global interests and military involvement around the world; Israel is a small, somewhat homogeneous
Global Terrorism Right and left wing extremism, which are both forms of domestic or home-grown terrorism, have a rather long history in the U.S. Generally motivated by Marxist and communist ideologies, left wing extremism emerged as early as the late 19th century (White, 2016). Nonetheless, left wing extremism in the U.S. became more prominent in the 1960s and 1970s, with Weather Underground, Black Panthers, and Students for Democratic Society being the
In the three regional organizations in Africa discussed here, it is important that these entities reaffirm their commitment in joining the war against crime and the fight against terrorist groups; which are an obstacle to the success of Africa's economies (Fulgence, 2015). There is a lot of work cut out for sub-Saharan African countries which are grappling with abject poverty. They have plenty of work to do to attain middle
