From the Publisher
Terrorism is changing, as is its effect on national security. This bookbrings together three complementary papers that address trends ininternational terrorism, the special problem of terrorism in the informationage, and how to meet the terrorist challenge to U.S. interests.Each of these papers pays special attention to the effect of terrorismon the U.S. military. Each also considers the role of militaryforces, especially air and space power, in national counterterrorismstrategy.The study made extensive use of the RAND-St. Andrews Chronologyof International Terrorism a comprehensive database on world wideterrorist incidents since 1968.The papers were written as contributions to a year-long project onTerrorism and Counterterrorism: Implications for Strategy andUSAF Planning, conducted within the Strategy and DoctrineProgram of RAND's Project AIR FORCE. The study was co-sponsoredby the Deputy Chief of Staff, Air and Space Operations (AF/XO), andthe Director of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance(AF/XOI). It was aimed at helping the Air Force to address its ownforce protection concerns, as well as contributing to the broadernational and international debate on terrorism. The findings shouldbe of interest to a wide audience interested in terrorism, counterterrorism,and national security policy.
From the Back Cover
In Countering the New Terrorism, authors Ian Lesser, Bruce Hoffman, John Arquilla, David Ronfeldt, and Michele Zanini trace the recent evolution of international terrorism against civilian and U.S. military targets, offer judgments on the future directions of terrorism, and propose strategies for its containment. Can terrorism be stopped? Contained, yes, stopped, no. This frank report addresses the role of military forces, especially air and space power, in national counterterrorism strategy and stresses that the United States must strive to make terrorism "more transparent" and address the problem of privatized terror.
