During the Cold War, deterrence theory was the cornerstone of U.S.
foreign policy. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, however,
popular wisdom dictated that terrorist organizations and radical
fanatics could not be deterredOCoand governments shifted their
attention to combating terrorism rather than deterring it.
This book challenges that prevailing assumption and offers insight
as to when and where terrorism can be deterred. It first identifies
how and where theories of deterrence apply to counterterrorism,
highlighting how traditional and less-traditional notions of
deterrence can be applied to evolving terrorist threats. It then
applies these theoretical propositions to real-world threats to
establish the role deterrence has within a dynamic counterterrorism
strategyOCoand to identify how metrics can be created for measuring
the success of terrorism deterrence strategies. In sum, it provides
a foundation for developing effective counterterrorism policies to
help states contain or curtail the terrorism challenges they face.
