Evaluating the ‘Success’ and ‘Failure’ of Counterterrorism Policy and Practice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Palgrave Handbook of Global Counterterrorism Policy

Abstract

This chapter analyzes counterterrorist policies of the major state and supranational actors affected by terrorism. The emphasis is made on the nature of these policies, which are hypothesized to be exclusionary/protective, inclusionary/preventing, or both, depending on the nature of terrorist threats. These policies represent the independent variables, implementation of which reflects on the numbers and virulence of terrorist attacks over time, which is the dependent variable. The case-studies analyzed in the chapter include the European Union (with the special emphasis on Spain), Russian Federation, the United States, Sri Lanka, and Israel: those who have been known to have major concurrent incidents of terrorism. The difference in the nature of terrorist threat—domestic and homegrown vs. foreign and transnational or hybrid (both)—acts as the antecedent variable affecting the choice of the diverse counter-terrorism policies. The CT policies of the actors discussed in the chapter aim at either exclusion/protection (in case of the domestic terrorism), inclusion/prevention (in case of the transnational terrorism), or their combination (in case of the hybrid version of terrorism). The chapter determines the correlation between the independent (nature of CT policies) and dependent (instances of terrorism) variables and explains the causality leading to the most successful policy options.
