Description

Does Counter-Terrorism Work? offers a systematic and expert examination of state responses to terrorist violence. Drawing on over three decades of study, Richard English provides an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of counter-terrorism efforts. This book assesses key counter-terrorist campaigns through a balanced and historically-focused comparison, evaluating strategic, tactical, and personal achievements and failures. By defining what effective counter-terrorism would involve, English tests his framework against a range of source material to stimulate debate and reflection among scholars, students, practitioners, and the wider public. The impact of counter-terrorist politics and policy on society is significant, shaping global politics and daily life. This book helps readers understand how such decisions have shaped the past and prepares them to respond more effectively in the future to one of the world's most important challenges.
