Integrated Modeling of Themes, Targeting Claims and Networks in Insurgent Rhetoric

Abstract

This report describes research conducted under the subject grant by the Applied Physics Laboratory of the University of Washington. Key results of this research effort include: (1) the development of a prototype software package for leadership network modeling and analysis which integrates quantitative techniques from nonlinear systems theory and network science; (2) the development and application of methods of relating network structure and ideology for insurgent movements; and (3) the development of a mathematical model for the simultaneous evolution of insurgent alliance ties and their allocation of force policies.
