Philip Schlesinger detailed a clear conceptual relationship between counterterrorism and counterinsurgency thought in 1978, and provided a framework for analysing the social and political implications of counterterrorism in practice. Notes that British counterinsurgency military experts have provided the conceptual basis for the development of counterterrorism strategies. The importance of this link is that counterterrorism has provided a domestic, peacetime adaptation of strategies developed for wartime exigencies of a colonial power. (PAS)

The application of counterinsurgency methods to the prisons, police, & criminal justice system under the rubric of countering terrorism in GB is described. It is argued that counterinsurgency developed through the colonial & imperialist struggles of GB & is at base a military doctrine. The current British counterterrorism strategy is explicitly grounded in the adaptation of counterinsurgency theory to contemporary conflict. Counterterrorism has provided a domestic adaptation of strategies developed to deal with the essentially wartime exigencies of a colonial power. Furthermore, in its domestic adaptations, counterinsurgency strategies are being applied to all forms of civil action -- eg, to political demonstrations & industrial disputes -- & not only to the more extreme violence of terrorism in the name of which these strategies were initially adopted. 30 References.

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.
