SISG 760- International Studies- Group 4. Monday, April 6, 2015. Alternative Outcomes in International Relations. As Jackson points out, the prospects for the "human project" seem dim, given the very human tendency to a) form subgroups within a population and b) only unite against a common enemy. But this analysis is outdated because the communication and social constraints that once governed human interaction are loosening as technology advances. April 16, 2015 at 8:51 PM.

SISG 760- International Studies- Group 4. Monday, April 13, 2015. April 15, 2015 at 7:42 AM. You raise an interesting point regarding the criteria of what constitutes the biggest threat. Many of the groups focused on loss of human life or exploitation of security weaknesses as a determinant of threat, however your comment at the end of your first paragraph shifts that paradigm.
