Controlling International Terrorism: Alternatives Palatable and Unpalatable
Abstract
Operating from the premise that the literature on the
control of international terrorism is inadequate, the authors systematically
develop general alternatives for mastering international
terrorism. Using a representative terrorist incident as the
vehicle for considering the general strategies to be followed within
the framework of ongoing international terrorism, the authors analyze
the incident as a historical event. As such, the event can be set
within a given historical context and examined comprehensively
from the viewpoint of alternate possible beginnings, strategies to be
followed and tactics to be effected within the framework of the
incident itself, and systematic consideration of a range of possible
outcomes. The authors consider that adequate control of international
terrorism and the incidents that reflect its essential character
must include strategies encompassing at least factors of politics,
law, law enforcement, propaganda, armed military force, psychology,
and time.
