Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT) is a research institute sponsored by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and Syracuse University College of Law. INSCT was established in 2003 by Prof. William C. Banks with the goal of support an interdisciplinary approach to questions of national security and counter-terrorism law and policy.
INSCT consists of several full-time fellows and graduate research assistants and dozens of affiliated faculty members at Syracuse University. The Institute publishes analytical policy papers, journal articles, and books; it develops courses and other academic opportunities for graduate certificate of advanced study and curricular programs in national security and counter-terrorism law; and it convenes conferences and seminars at Syracuse University and at its collaborating institutions.
In May 2013, INSCT announced that it had graduated 470 students from its academic programs since 2003. INSCT alumni work across the security industry, in organizations such as the Brookings Institution; Combined/Joint Task Force-Afghanistan; DARPA; Deloitte; US Marine Corps; US Military Commissions Prosecutions Unit; US Naval Air Systems Command; the US departments of Defense, State, Justice, and Homeland Security; and elsewhere.
In October 2013, INSCT announced it will begin offering Counterterrorism in the 21st Century, an interdisciplinary executive education course, in collaboration with the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya in Israel.
