Synopsis:

This book, Counterterrorism: Bridging Operations and Theory, is meant to help facilitate the gulf between those engaging in applied aspects of counterterrorism--essentially early warning, pre-emption response, mitigation, and consequence management--and those who are studying the underlying components of terrorism itself--e.g. how to define it, its causation, radicalization processes, group evolutionary patterns, and incident lessons learned--in order to better understand this phenomena for counterterrorism research purposes. Often such a diverse grouping of professionals and scholars are not found together in a project such as this because their paths do not normally cross.With over fifty contributors to this work--including internationally recognized scholars such as John Arquilla, Martin van Creveld, Brian M. Jenkins, Thomas X. Hammes, Rohan Gunaratna, David Kilcullen, David Ronfeldt, and Gregory Treverton--it will appeal to professionals in the areas of counterterrorism, homeland security, and security studies.
