The Winter 2001/02 issue of International Security, America''s foremost journal of security affairs, examines how terrorism affects U.S. policy and perspectives.
In "The Architecture of Government in the Face of Terrorism," Ashton Carter argues that "the security institutions of the U.S. federal government are particularly ill-suited to delivering homeland security." In "Dealing with Terrorism: An Overview," Philip Heymann contends that the September 11 attacks make clear that the U.S. needs to invest significantly in counterterrorism and homeland defense.
In "The Struggle against Terrorism: Grand Strategy, Strategy, and Tactics," Barry Posen writes that America''s strategic response to al Qaeda can "reduce the terrorists to desperate groups of exhausted stragglers, with few resources and little hope of success." In "Beyond bin Laden: Reshaping U.S. Foreign Policy," Stephen Walt argues that the September 11 attacks produced "the most rapid and dramatic change in the history of U.S. foreign policy."
In "The United States and Terrorism in Southwest Asia: September 11 and Beyond," Samina Ahmed says that the U.S. should prevent Pakistan from again playing a dominant role in Afghanistan and encourage the eventual return of democracy in Pakistan. In "Fighting Terrorism in Southern Asia: The Lessons of History," Brahma Chellaney argues that India must follow the U.S. example and adopt a stronger anti-terrorist military strategy.
