Announcing a new White Paper from the Council on Global Security, “The Flawed Science Behind America’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy,” by Katharine C. Gorka.
Current U.S. counter-terrorism policy focuses on targeting individual perpetrators and “upstream causes,” rather than on countering the ideology that is fueling the growth of the jihadist franchise.
This white paper from the Council on Global Security tells the story of how a flawed theory came to drive U.S. counter-terrorism policy, and why it will ultimately only serve to strengthen groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda and not ultimately lead to their defeat.
This paper comes at a critical time as America’s counter-terrorism professionals debate whether to continue viewing the enemy as the Global Jihadist Movement or revert to the older paradigm of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE).
The author, Katharine Gorka, is the President of the Council on Global Security.
