Abstract

With an entire generation’s experience being shaped by the scourge of terrorism, and with a respectable end to the global war on terror increasingly seeming like a distant dream rather than an achievable goal, it is time to rethink and restructure counterterrorism strategy. An effective strategy will include the dual strategy of prevention of the immediate threat of violence and long term preventative measures designed to address root causes of radicalization. Drawing on key tenets demonstrated by the Dhofar Insurgency of the 1960s and 70s a more holistic approach to counter and antiterrorism can and should be constructed in the pursuit of a more effective outcome.
