A discussion of the persistent international problem of terrorism vis-a-vis US policy in the 1980s & 1990s, stressing that the documented increase in terrorism does not belie a failed policy. The elements of the policy are examined in detail: (1) the practice of giving no concessions; (2) pressure directed against states that support or use terrorism; & (3) usage of criminal law against terrorists. The three most visible international problem areas include: radical Palestinian terrorist groups, Libya's persistent support of terrorism, & "narcoterrorism" in Latin America, especially throughout the Andes. Prospects for the future are hypothesized, including increased terrorist use of chemical weapons, high technology, & modern plastic explosives. It is recommended that the US maintain & support current policy through such efforts as reinforcing law enforcement tactics, garnering cooperation with Latin American, East Asian, & African countries, & increasing funds for research.
