I'm writing my final dissertation for a degree in Politics, I am particularly interested in International Security and terrorism and have specialised in these areas alongside American politics and International Relations. Problem is, I can't find a dissertation topic! I know how to go about researching, but I need suggestions of topics for inspiration!!!

How about the different basic philosophies regarding the US's efforts to combat terrorism? The Democrats treat terrorism as a law enforcement issue while the Republicans treat terrorism as a military issue.

The CIA: Activities in Third World Countries 1945 to the end of the Cold War. Should be an eye opener for an American politics undergraduate. Have fun! My own dissertation was entitled "The New Right: A Study in the Creation of Hegemony". You might try something on the same lines but with an international dimension.

Was it a mistake that America "won" the Cold War- a condition that set the grounds for muslim extremist to forge on and terrorize the whole world? Discuss the situation then before the 'end of the cold war' and the years that followed it. These are the turning points of modern history, the period of consolidation for muslim terrorist. You could touch on the "Taliban years" in Kabul and how such 'victory' emboldened the muslins to export their "'Jihad".Those were the years when Bin Ladin became serious in his fight against the US which culminated with 9/11. You could include to those critical years when America was engrossed by the 'monica affair' while extremist groups were quietly establishing terrorist cells in the US. Good luck

Pearly,
You should look into international legal relations. Look at National versus international law, ideas of national sovereignty, and treaties. You should be able to find something in there.

well, one quirky way, i suppose, could be to call another university and ask in their political dept and see if they have a suggestion. or ask for someone in the Master's Dept and ask about dissertations.
