Center for International Studies and London School of Economics

I will be a visiting fellow at the Center for International Studies (http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/CIS/) at the London School of Economics (http://www.lse.ac.uk/) during February-April of 2008. I look forward to interesting conversations with new colleagues, students, and visitors at LSE. During my time at LSE, I will continue to work on my ongoing research projects in the areas of national security and government intelligence programs. Specifically, I will focus on two distinct, albeit related, questions. The first question seeks to examine the organizational structures of terrorist entities. The second question examines how these structures evolve in order to deal with pressures in the internal and external environments in which these entities operate in.

Montreal, Canada...ICIS Conference

I have two quarters off from my teaching responsibilities. I have hence organized a hectic, yet enjoyable, travel schedule. My first stop was Montreal, Canada...

I enjoyed my recent visit to Montreal for the International Conference on Information Systems (see http://business.queensu.ca/icis). I had good conversations with several colleagues of mine and made new friends. Thanks to all who organized the event. The ICIS social was one of the best gatherings of ICIS scholars I have seen in recent times...Next stop, Toronto...
