C4548 2010 Summary A quantitative analysis that provides new insight into which types of counterterror practices work best and which types perform poorly in particular operational environments and circumstances. For Chasdi, "effectiveness" is defined as the capacity of counterterror practices to work with "stealth"--namely, without eliciting high amounts of related follow-up terrorist assaults. He tackles an analysis of counterterror practice effectiveness based on the type of political system of the country carrying out counterterror offensives and the power level of that country within the international political system. Chasdi furthermore provides qualitative descriptions of national security institutions, stakeholders, and processes to frame his quantitative results in ways that tie those findings to historical and contemporary political developments. --from publisher description Contents An introduction to counterterror concepts and methods--The contours of counterterror practices: approaches and actions, what is known and gaps in knowledge, a functional typology of counterterror events--Theoretical conceptualizations and methodology--The case of counterterror in Western style liberal democracies: basic contours of the counterterror practices of four nation-states--The case of counterterror in authoritarian democracies and an authoritarian regime: basic contours of the counterterror practices of three nation-states--Analysis of the effects of two structural explanatory factors on counterterror event outcomes--Conclusions.
