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. 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 606 $aTerrorism$xGovernment policy 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aTerrorism$xGovernment policy. 676 $a363.325/16 700 $aChasdi$b Richard J.$f1958-$01493925 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788529803321 996 $aCounterterror offensives for the ghost war world$93717203 997 $aUNINA
