Newswise — Nova Southeastern University subject matter expert Dustin Berna, Ph.D., is available to speak with media regarding the termination of Osama Bin Laden and the impact it will have on terrorism, the United States and citizens abroad.
“Osama bin Laden is dead; however, the war on terrorism is far from over,” says Dustin Berna, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, FL., and subject matter expert on terrorism. “With that being said, this is great news for the American people. Yet, there are very important questions that still must be answered concerning his final location within the Pakistani capital (just blocks away from the Pakistani Military Academy); and whether the Pakistani military and security force had knowledge of him being there.”
Dustin Berna graduated from the University of New Orleans with his Ph.D. in 2008. His two major fields of study were Middle Eastern politics and international relations. Berna’s dissertation was a quantitative study that evaluated the causes and electoral success of Islamic fundamentalist movements. He has collected and coded every Islamic fundamentalist group that is or has been in operation in the Islamic world since 1970.
Berna’s research specializations include Middle Eastern politics, Islamic fundamentalism, religious extremism, social movements, terrorism, and political institutions. He has taught classes on the Iraq War, Islamic politics, Middle Eastern politics, terrorism, political violence, international relations, U.S. foreign policy and politics of developing states, revolutions, international negotiation, and violence Prevention.
He has written numerous articles on topics that range from terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism to Iranian political institutions and Islamic democracy.
