The war on terror's emphasis on denying sanctuary and safe havens
to terrorists has placed a premium on physical territory, from
mountain caves and frontier hideouts to the bordered world of
modern states. Denial of Sanctuary highlights the limits of
conventional thinking on the subject, and suggests new approaches
to understanding this complex and misunderstood feature of modern
conflict. Critics of the war on terror have pointed to the futility
of waging war on a tactic. Its emphasis on denying sanctuary and
safe havens to terrorists, rooted primarily in traditional
counterinsurgency theory and poorly conceptualized policy
statements, has placed a premium on physical territory, from
mountain caves and frontier hideouts to the bordered world of
modern states. To fully understand sanctuaries is to uncover the
problems and pitfalls of waging war on locations—exposing the
secret lives of multiple hidden worlds, filled with extremists,
criminals, soldiers, and spies, with the pious and the profane,
with dangers that lie below the surface and in the margins. As this
volume makes abundantly clear, such a murky underground is far more
complex and varied than the conventional wisdom suggests.
Terrorists have hidden in plain sight in modern cities, used
advanced communications technology to build virtual refuges,
crafted militant enclaves out of the disarray of failed states,
flocked to distinctly unsafe insurgent battlespaces, and generally
challenged the protective limits of law, citizenship, and state.
Denial of Sanctuary brings together top experts in the field to
expand the debate; to explore the roots, causes and consequences of
the problem; and to clarify our understanding of sanctuary in
terrorist thought and practice.
