More than 11 years after the 9/11 attacks and 10 years after the October 2002 Bali bombings, the need for a comprehensive assessment of what the countries in Southeast Asia have achieved is overdue. We need to consider whether the strategies against both the domestic and transnational terrorist and extremist threat have been appropriate and have yielded desired results. The aim of this book is to make a comprehensive assessment of the threats of terrorism and extremism in the region and of the policies and practices adopted by the regional countries to counter the same. It is also necessary to evaluate if the region has become a safer place after the decade-long fight. Most importantly, it is time to ask if we need a rethink or develop a new strategy to contain and manage the threats of terrorism and extremism.

Contents:

  • Understanding Conflicts in Southeast Asia
  • Southeast Asian Terrorism: Myths and Reality
  • Political Violence and Terrorism in Southeast Asia
  • Maritime Dimensions of Southeast Asian Terrorism
  • State Responses to Terrorism in Southeast Asia
  • Regional Response to Terrorism in Southeast Asia
  • Southeast Asian Terrorism: Quo Vadis?

Readership: Security specialists, practitioners of community engagement, psychologists, policy makers, academics and researchers working in the field of security studies.
Key Features:

  • The book makes a critical assessment of the threat and response at three levels — strategic, operational and tactical. The imperative of such an assessment stems from the fact that the impact of countermeasures is not uniform on each of the levels
  • Examines one of the critical fronts in the fight against terrorism and extremism — regional cooperation. Cooperation among the countries in the region is very important given the fact that threats today cross borders and has significant externalities in terms of impact and costs
