The approaches apply, to varying degrees, three key policy instruments - intelligence, law enforcement and military force. However, the success or failure of these counter-terrorism strategies has never been satisfactorily validated. Analysts and policymakers alike have assumed success due to the inability of terrorists to conduct 7/7 and 9/11, respectively, scale attacks upon each state. This assumption has existed despite the fact that it fundamentally underestimates the impact of transnational terrorism. This volume provides and in-depth qualitative assessment of the three primary policy instruments implemented to counter the transnational threat of terrorism during the perios 2001-2011; an approach somewhat neglected by the current body of literature which utilises primarily a quantitative methodology. |
