The Library Associates hosted a lecture by Daniel Byman entitled The Changing Challenge of State-Sponsored Terrorism in March. Dr. Byman is the Director of Georgetown University’s Security Studies Program and Center for Peace and Security Studies and has authored and co-authored several books relating to terrorism, ethnic conflict, and American foreign policy.

Dr. Byman talked about the difficulty states face in defining their levels of response to terrorism and described several specific cases of decisions made where terrorist action demanded a response from the U.S. and other nations.
