Background
Cambridge Security Programme (CSP) was an academic institution founded six months after the 11th September, 2001, in "response to the demands to find an answer to the compelling need for new ways to address the instability and uncertainties that characterise the current climate of insecurity." [1] While the institution ceased to operate in December 2007, its website remains accessible as an archive of its past activities. [2]
Activities
While going about its grand, yet vague, remit, which includes 'add[ing] value...to the well-being of Society in General,' [3] the CSP found time to undertake a major research project with a view to ascertaining the 'Motivations in immigrant communities for adopting terrorist activity' [4] and 'identify[ing] the personality structure of individuals who become involved in political ideologies and movements that demand commitment to a set of ideas and values that emphasise the role of the collective over the individual.' [5]
