About this product

Product Information

Although military operations have dominated media coverage of the war on terrorism, a much broader array of policy options may hold the key to reducing the appeal of global terrorist networks, particularly in economically destitute areas. These strategies involve the use of soft power (a term first used by political scientist Joseph Nye in a 1990 article in Foreign Policy ) or nonmilitary strategies. The contributors to this volume discuss four aspects of soft power. First, authors consider failed or failing states as havens for transnational terrorist networks, and examine the most effctive ways to build stable nations in unstable regions, including focused looks at Afghanistan and Sierra Leone. Next, authors explore postconflict reconstruction, including in-depth examinations of security, justice and reconcilliation, opportunities for achieving socioeconomic well-being, and increased participation in government. Contributors then examine public diplomacy, asking whether the US needs new policies or simply a new image to increase its appeal in the Arab and Muslim world. Finally, authors look at foreign assistance, and the potential of the Bush administration's Millennium Challenge Account (or as one contributor puts it, compassionate conservatism meets global poverty ) to combat poverty, increase democracy and reduce the appeal of terror.
