- 1. Evolution of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Measures Submitted by Rejitha R Reg.no 13303024
- 2. phases of terrorism 1st stage: national state vs local terrorist group; national or regional level; bad equipment. 2nd stage: a community of states (or only one “state-policeman”) vs terrorist networks; global, international level; lots of money and good equipment; terrorism is a business for some sort of people. Interaction between political, financial groups and terrorist networks: a struggle or a collaboration. A new phenomenon: a structure that deals not only with terrorism, but also with politics and business.
- 3. kinds of counter terrorist policy 1st phase of the terrorism – counter terrorist policy 1; 2nd phase of the terrorism – counter terrorist policy 2. CTP1: cruel and non-personal (general) way of actions - “zachistki” in Chechnya. The result: tensity and few real terrorists arrested. CTP1 is ineffective because the terror wasn’t stopped and terrorism developed into its second phase. September, 11: the nature of the terrorism changed. That’s why the world needs a new counter terrorist policy – CTP2.
- 4. Counter Terrorist Policy The ctp2 is headed by the USA. Its main features: • new accurate weapons • cooperation with other secret services • work with the poorest developing countries • struggle with the sponsors of terrorism
- 5. Terrorist’s chain Sponsors Terrorist leaders Bandits Civilians (victims) The most dangerous people here are: sponsors terrorist leaders That’s why they have to be the target number one for secret services.
- 6. Why did the ctp1 failed? The basic principles of the ctp1: to eliminate (kill, imprison) all the people who have any relations with terrorism; it’s possible to use illegal or cruel measures in some cases. That’s why there are 2 possibilities: to eliminate all the people connected with terrorism in illegal manner; to employ mostly legal measures. The liberal democracies chose the 2nd variant. Therefore they weren’t able to stop the wave of terror, that had a chance to develop into its 2nd phase. In other case, the democracies risked to become totalitarian states.
- 7. The key features of the ctp the ctp2 deals with problems of security, as well as with geopolitical and economical aspects; the recent example of Iraq: the war with terrorism can have nothing similar with the real terrorism. In that case, such problems as the economical growth in the USA, strong dollar or oil interests can be more important than the security. However, the ctp isn’t the best way to deal with economy and finances, if we consider its benefits for a whole country. But it can be very profitable for some groups of politicians and businessmen. There is a need to pay more attention to the real problems of global security
- 8. The US counter terrorist measures Iraq Afghanistan Kosovo Africa
- 9. The war on Iraq This conflict doesn’t have anything similar with the real war with terrorism, it’s just a way for some people to make their power stronger. The disadvantages of such conflicts: the radical Muslim world is becoming stronger, it can cause a conflict between the North and the South; the USA employ the mottos of liberation and use the term “democracy” in order to kill people without using a court; the war with terrorism is becoming a global TV show. Perhaps, the media is more interested in new conflicts and even more powerful than the White House.
- 10. Other regions The Taliban hasn’t been defeated yet; some of its structures are ready to carry out new attacks; Afghan farmers still raise poppy. Drug and weapon traffickers in Kosovo enjoy the freedom they have after the USA liberated them. Lots have been done to prevent creating new terrorist bases in the poorest African countries.
- 11. The connection between the ctp and foreign relations The war in Iraq has showed lots of differences between the USA and Europe. The ctp has a great influence on foreign policies nowadays. There is a dilemma for Russia: to be with Europe or USA or to have our own way. With USA: to conduct war with terrorism together, no economical advantages. With Europe: geographical, historical, economical reasons. No war with terror. Perhaps, it’s better to combine these two ways in order to have more benefit.
