| Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. === in combating terrorism. A comparative analysis in this thesisillustrates that education by itself does not prevent terrorism. Other causal factors must be considered when addressing individuals who do commit terrorist acts. This thesis will use the cases of the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka and eleven profiles of educated individuals who were involved in terrorist acts as counterexamples to the education-only theory. It will also discuss present U.S. operations in Afghanistan that focus on education, and present proposals to improve the social and economic conditions that are necessary aspects of reforms being neglected. |
