The Institute for
National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT) at Syracuse
University was established at the
College of Law in 2003 through
the vision of Professor William C. Banks, with the support of
Dean Hannah R. Arterian. Beginning in the 2004-2005 academic year, the
Maxwell School of Citizenship
& Public Affairs, with the support of
Dean Mitchel B. Wallerstein, joined the
College of Law in sponsoring the Institute. The Maxwell
School and the College of Law support a systematic,
interdisciplinary approach to important questions of law and policy
related to national and international security and counterterrorism.
The director of the Institute,
William C. Banks, is Professor
of Law, Professor of Public Administration, and Laura J. and L.
Douglas Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence.
Other faculty
across a range of disciplines bring experience
in military planning and operations, global counterterrorism and
arms control policy, counterproliferation policy, diplomacy and
international relations, terrorist methods and psychology, history,
law, and economics.
