A Useful Problem: Leadership as a Pharmakon in the Age of Terror

• In Event: Violent Extremism and Leadership — Global Patterns, Negative Implications, and Positive Opportunities

Short Description

This research explores how framing leadership as both the problem and solution fits within the state of crisis, terror, and turbulence that the U.S. wishes to project. These pharmakons also serve as vehicles through which to secure U.S. supremacy while also serving capitalist, militarist ends in the neoliberal moment. American exceptionalism and its impact are also addressed.
