Islamic Terrorism in Southeast Asia - An Effects-Based U.S. Regional Strategy Against Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf (Paperback)

Islamic Terrorism in Southeast Asia constitutes the second front in the Global War on Terrorism. Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf, transnational terrorist organizations with ties to Al Qaeda, have frustrated U.S. efforts to eradicate terrorism and provide regional stability. Thus far, they have successfully adapted to concerted, international efforts to reduce their sphere of influence. This monograph examined these terrorist groups through the lens of Dr. Bard O'Neill's insurgency framework, with the aim of providing an effects-based counterterrorism strategy. The findings highlight an ineffective, regional strategy, with deficiencies in regional diplomacy, economic reform, financial and judicial practices and military organization. The findings recommend prioritized improvements in these areas, along with more efficient maritime control and customs procedures. The study also indicates the lack of an effective regional information campaign against terrorism. The compilation of these recommendations form an effects-based counterterrorism strategy needed to win in the Global War on Terrorism.
