Counterterrorism: Containment and Beyond (Adelphi series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The 9/11 attacks revealed that the transnational terrorist threat facing the US and its partners was far more dangerous than most had previously discerned. It was now clear that alQaeda intended to, and could threaten the Wests particularly the US political and military leverage, with the aim of shifting the balance of power from the West to Islam after a violent global confrontation. In that sense, the new terrorist threat is strategic, and it has led to a worldwide mobilisation comparable to that required by a world war.This Paper argues that prevailing in the war on terror, much like victory in the Cold War, entails containment, deterrence, outperformance and engagement. Military power is secondary to intelligence, law enforcement, enlightened social policy and diplomacy. Diplomatic engagement with the larger Muslim world is paramount as a means of denying alQaeda not merely recruits but theclash of civilisations it seeks.The USled intervention in Iraq, though intended to introduce democratic reform in the wider Middle East, has so far antagonised Islam and strengthened Islamist terrorism. This suggests that coercive or aggressively ideological diplomacy is unlikely to win over an Islamic population biased by antiWestern propaganda. Successful Western diplomacy will have to be discreet, nuanced and incremental.
