Maritime Terrorism: Developing Case Studies for Teaching and Analysis: An interim report.

Donna J. NINCIC - California Maritime Academy, a campus of the California State University

ABSTRACT

Maritime terrorism is emerging as a significant issue in global trade and national security. However, very few maritime institutions offer formal study of maritime terrorism. Students preparing for the maritime professions would be well served in their future careers by having studied theories and typologies of maritime terrorism, and having participated in active discussions of how this threat and challenge will affect them in their future careers. The use of case studies dealing with maritime terrorist incidents would provide a valuable teaching tool in courses dealing with maritime security and/or as stand-alones for workshops outside the formal curriculum.
