Hello gentlemen. To distinguish myself from the usual safe and often mediocre thesis in International Affairs in my field, I decided to try to "shock" the stasis in current academia with a little drop of acid into the calm ocean, but for this I'll consult with some brainstorming from you fine sirs!
I am mostly talking about bibliography (which I've found to be relatively scarce, possibly due to the nature of the subject) and the overall layout of the project. In terms of layout I am intending to follow the one proposed by the famous Yuri Bezmenov in his equally known interview regarding ideological subverstion.
So in theory it would be:
1 - Introduction: What is Ideological Subversion.
2- Chapter I : Demoralization
3 - Chapter II: Destabilization
4 - Chapter III: Crisis
5 - Chapter IV: Normalization
6 - Chapter V : Case - study (To be decided, but frankly I think the best example would be the KGB regarding the USA during the Cold War, though the CIA had some influence in this as well)
So, I am open to your suggestions in terms of sources of information and layout. I believe the layout is pretty solid but I'm having some difficulties regarding good information regarding the four stages of Ideological Subversion, and as you might imagine, a Masters' Thesis requires plenty and varied good information!
Any question, suggestion, let's discuss, please

"Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin. Real love involves real hatred: whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the sellers from temples has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth."
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
