Abstract:
Terrorism literature is replete with the so-called “causes” of terrorism. With the potential causes of terrorism being so widespread, suggested “solutions” to terrorism run the gamut as well. Everything from economic aid and more open trade, to more military intervention and better intelligence, to increased diplomacy, increased political rights and civil liberties, religious reform, more stable party systems and American hegemony have all been offered as potential solutions to terrorism. Far from advocating a dovish response to terrorist activity, this article argues that thestrategic approach is the smarter and more effective way forward.
