This article discusses the efforts of the United States and its allies to counter the threat of state-supported terrorism, and the need for a cohesive, unified solution to solving this international, political problem. |
| Abstract:
|
The author argues that collective action against state supporters of terrorism will ultimately be based on healthy appreciation of the threats such states pose, and the dangers of disunity in the face of such threats. Two basic approaches to terrorism are described -- 'deductive' and 'inductive,' and the western response to state-supported terrorism is discussed in the context of political and institutional realities. Consensus, credibility, clarity, and consistency are described as common elements that can have a marked impact on the effectiveness of collective action by the United States and its major democratic allies against the threat of state-supported terrorism. 7 footnotes. |
