ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The
basic argument of this book is that liberal democracy is a security imperative
in today`s global security environment. Since terrorist groups change and
evolve, the best way for states to win legitimacy vis-à-vis these organizations
is by adhering to liberal democratic value, cooperating with other states, and
applying prudent counterterrorist tactics. This book begins by analyzing five
hotspot situations and their regional effects: the Basques in Spain, the ethnic
Albanians in Macedonia, the Kurds in Turkey, the Chechens and Russia: and the
Palestinians, Israelis, and a future Palestinian state.
