- Summary:
- The book assesses the appropriateness of US and other counter-terrorist (CT) strategies in Europe and Eurasia, the Middle East, Asia Pacific region ands South and Latin America with a view to improving their effectiveness. It asks and answers the following questions: To what extent do existing CT strategies de-legitimize ideological support for terrorists? What further measures might be undertaken? How might we understand and measure success? The book has three main themes and objectives. Firstly, it re-examines terrorists' strategic goals and sources of legitimacy and the nature of their ideological support. Secondly, it examines current US and regional CT strategies and assesses their success in de-legitimizing terrorists and undermining their support. The final phase provides a strategic synthesis and policy recommendations in light of the research findings.
