The March 22 terrorist attacks in Brussels have added urgency to a number of troubling questions within the geopolitical system. For example:

• How can local authorities and everyday citizens help to protect themselves and others from attacks by grassroots terrorists?
• Following the March 18 arrest of the last surviving Paris attack suspect near Brussels, will existing jihadist cells in Europe quickly carry out more attacks in a “use it or lose it” campaign?
• How might the European Union – already erecting more border controls and emergency response measures – shift its thinking on the Schengen agreement?
• What impact will these attacks have as European and Middle Eastern countries attempt to resolve the ongoing migrant crisis?
• What realistic options exist to bring Syria’s civil war to a close?
