The Fifth Wave of Modern Terrorism

Describe your own definition of international terrorism, summarize the four waves of modern terrorism, and defend your position if you think we are experiencing the fifth wave.

Propose a plan to build and sustain international cooperation on counter-terrorism. You can consider doing this from the perspective of the United States (a lead nation), use an intergovernmental alliance approach like using the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or propose a global international method. Make sure to address the full spectrum of counter-terrorism tools such as diplomatic, military, intelligence, economic, informational, financial, and law enforcement. Describe how you will create and build the cooperation as well as the pros and cons of your chosen approach.
