Stopping Terrorism at its Source
The emergence of global terrorism has created a new reality in
national and international security. Governments and peoples must
come together to encourage economic, political, legal, and social
change within weak societies in which terrorists take refuge and to
assist deadlocked governments in overcoming the explosive legacies
of religious and ethnic conflict. In "Strategic Foreign Assistance"
the authors show that, to do this, the United States must develop a
strategic international cooperation and assistance policy that
fosters strong civil societies.
The book details the key role that civil society organizations
(CSOs) could play in mitigating the conditions that promote
terrorists and terrorism. The authors reveal how CSOs can help
nations overcome internal conflicts by attacking the roots of
violence and empowering people directly affected by the conflict to
develop culturally appropriate strategies to pacify violent
regions. They explain the value of informal society-based, nonstate
initiatives--including initiatives aimed at religious leaders--in
recruiting a country's citizens in the efforts for peace. And they
show how CSOs can help accomplish strategic objectives for
promoting social development and changing state policies in such
critical areas as economic and educational policy reform,
empowerment of women, property rights for the poor, and other vital
areas.
