FIGHTING TERRORISM IN THE LIBERAL STATE
NATO Security through Science Series
This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Programme for
Security through Science (STS).
Meetings supported by the NATO STS Programme are in security-related priority areas of
Defence Against Terrorism or Countering Other Threats to Security. The types of meeting
supported are generally “Advanced Study Institutes” and “Advanced Research Workshops”. The
NATO STS Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized
by scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO’s “Partner” or “Mediterranean
Dialogue” countries. The observations and recommendations made at the meetings, as well as
the contents of the volumes in the Series, reflect those of participants and contributors only; they
should not necessarily be regarded as reflecting NATO views or policy.
Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) are high-level tutorial courses to convey the latest
developments in a subject to an advanced-level audience
Advanced Research Workshops (ARW) are expert meetings where an intense but informal
exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions for future action
Following a transformation of the programme in 2004 the Series has been re-named and re-
organised. Recent volumes on topics not related to security, which result from meetings
supported under the programme earlier, may be found in the NATO Science Series.
The Series is published by IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springer Science and Business Media,
Dordrecht, in conjunction with the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.

Introduction:
Terrorism and the Open Society –
A Question of Balance
Samuel PELEG
Department of Political Science and Strategic Dialogue Center at Netanya College,
Israel
In June 1974, I was staying with my Aunt and Uncle during my summer vacation. They
lived in northern Israel, in the sleepy little town of Naharya. At the age of 16, it was the
farthest away from home that I could go. On the fifth night of my visit, at around
2:00 a.m., we were violently awakened by a barrage of bullets and the deafening blasts
of hand grenades. We were all terribly frightened and felt totally helpless. The
onslaught lasted for about 30 minutes, and then suddenly everything fell ominously
silent. At dawn, we learned how fortunate we had been: The attack on the apartment
house was the work of a terrorist band that had crossed over the border from Lebanon
earlier that night. My relatives’ building had been randomly selected, simply because it
was located near the shore. The terrorists continued wounding and killing the residents
of the ground floor until Israeli Special Forces moved in, surrounded them and ended
their rampage. That was my first encounter with the phenomenon of terrorism – but not
my last.
On March 4, 1996, a beloved teaching assistant and former student, Taly Gordon,
was killed by a suicide bomber, along with 19 other innocent persons who happened to
be present in a central shopping mall in Tel Aviv. The terrorist was a Palestinian artist
from Gaza who belonged to Islamic Jihad. Four months earlier and three kilometers
away, I had attended a peace rally that ended with the assassination of Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin. Only an hour before the murder, my wife, our small daughter and I had
passed very close by the spot where the Jewish extremist who killed Rabin was
patiently waiting for his opportunity. I may even have seen him. He had not appeared
the least bit suspicious either to us or to the hundreds of security personnel who were
guarding the area. These examples illustrate my personal acquaintance with the nature
of terrorism: indiscriminate, ruthless and unexpected. Lurking in the shadows like a
ferocious beast, terrorism is aggressive and vicious. To its prey, it does not matter
whether the beast is hungry or has a right to kill. From the victim’s point of view, any
lethal assault is depraved, senseless and criminal.
Nevertheless, however clearly and unambiguously terrorism is captured in these
personal recollections, it is still a highly perplexing and confusing phenomenon.
Scholars and practitioners are constantly debating the nature of terrorist activities in
various parts of the world. The anti-terrorist effort is notoriously faltering and
indecisive, and global cooperation against terrorism is reprehensibly inadequate. These
shortcomings are especially conspicuous in liberal states, where insidious, ruthless and
indiscriminate terrorism exploits the liberty and vulnerability of the open society.
Terrorism appears to flourish and attract attention by striking at the soft underbelly of
vi
democracy. The accessibility of targets and the “silent collaboration” of the media,
which exploit the sensationalism of terrorist attacks for commercial advantages, play
into the hands of terrorists. This is the dilemma of terrorism in the liberal state: Should
democratic liberties be curtailed for the sake of greater security? Isn’t the restriction of
civil liberties a triumph for terrorism? If a “golden path” must be found, combating
terrorism without sacrificing human rights and freedoms, where does such a path lead?
Such questions inspired the April 2005 NATO Advanced Research Workshop,
which was held at the University of Konstanz in southern Germany. This volume
presents the outstanding contributions of participants at that gathering. It consists of
papers by 18 leading scholars and practitioners of the war against terrorism from four
continents and nine countries. They include philosophers, political scientists,
psychologists, criminologists, jurists, sociologists, historians, computer analysts,
intelligence analysts and law enforcement officers. This remarkably varied range of
participants yielded a fascinating meeting and a noteworthy, often provocative
collection of papers. The great diversity enriched our undertaking with a variety of
philosophies, perspectives, and understandings. It brought together a plurality of
cultures, norms and experiences to afford an exhilarating mixture of definitions and
approaches. The workshop benefited greatly from the open-mindedness and
forbearance reserved for those unique occasions where a diverse group of persons is
present. The complex and varied nature of the contributions is reflected in this
collection.
Terrorism and counter-terrorism are in many ways mirror images of each other,
and their names reflect that notion quite well. They are both violent activities that
attempt to influence political developments and situations: the former in the direction
of change, instability and disorder, the latter in the opposite direction of the status quo,
stability and order. They both vie for an attentive audience and for the legitimacy of the
“critical mass.” The challengers aspire to convince the population of the callousness
and brutality of their government, while the authorities in turn strive to portray their
opponents as ruthless criminals and malefactors. Both parties try to win the hearts and
minds of the people. This struggle is waged on all political fronts, whether aimed at the
members of a tribe, the citizens of a nation or world public opinion. It is relevant and
meaningful on every level. While counter-terrorism marches under the banner of law
and morality, terrorism defies the law and attempts to recast morality in its own terms.
While the former boasts of order and stability, the latter proclaims justice and equality.
The papers in this book illustrate this balanced dichotomy between terrorism and
counter-terrorism against the background of the liberal state. This is a unique
battlefield, where the tactical advantage is seemingly conceded to terrorists, who are
free to exploit the liberties of the open society, while the authorities are constrained by
those very rights and freedoms. They work under the constant scrutiny of the free
press, public opinion, the political opposition, human rights organizations and the
guardians of legal codes. But, as already pointed out, they have only an apparent
advantage, which is forfeited the more depraved and indiscriminate terrorism becomes.
Then terrorists begin to lose their popular support, and the authorities begin to win
citizens’ trust in their efforts to restore tranquility. Thus, it really boils down to a
question of balance: of how to establish the delicate equilibrium of combating terrorism
while preserving the liberties of the open society. This book begins with this question
and becomes increasingly complex as it tackles the different aspects and dimensions of
this dilemma.
vii
The layout of the chapters follows the logic of the terrorism – counter-terrorism
dichotomy. The first entries grapple with the notion of terrorism, its elusive and
problematic definition, its structural preconditions, motivations and incentives. The
next three chapters juxtapose terrorism with counter-terrorism and emphasize the
movement – countermovement dynamics between them. This is presented via three
case studies from three different corners of the globe. Then, counter-terrorism is
introduced through communications and media, international law and foreign policy
analyses. As in the terrorism section, both sympathetic and critical views are expressed,
conveying a sense of the wide gamut of approaches to this sensitive topic. Finally, the
practical and programmatic portion of the book is laid out. The three chapters of this
section illustrate analytical and adaptive models for countering terrorism while
minimizing the loss of the liberties of the democratic state. Thus, the book returns full
circle and offers an equilibrant to the predicament of terrorism in the liberal state.
My opening chapter challenges the widespread perception of terrorism as
irrational, indiscriminate and improvised. Instead, I show that terrorism is a deliberate
and premeditated activity that is sometimes intentionally made to seem pathological
and irrational. The suggestiveness of, “Don’t offer any resistance, we are ruthless
fanatics who won’t stop at anything,” might serve terrorists by intimidating the
authorities and deterring citizens from cooperating with the police, but it can also
benefit a State that resorts to harsh retaliatory measures against terrorists, “who don’t
listen to reason.” Nonetheless, to portray terrorism as irrational is misleading and
should be avoided. Unless terrorism is comprehended and countered rationally, it
cannot be defeated.
Egyptian philosopher Hassan Hanafi delves into the anatomy of terrorism and
turns it on its head. He demonstrates logically and eruditely the vagueness and
ambiguity of the term ‘terrorism’ in contrast to the clarity and consistency it is
ordinarily perceived and understood to possess. His view is that, “terrorism as a term is
already a pre-judgment. It has a moral connotation. The problem is resolved
beforehand, even without the necessary effort to understand. It is a partial perception
which works against the objective analysis of socio-political phenomena.” Lack of
communication and reciprocal demonization between the West and the Arab world are
responsible for the current gulf between terrorists and the targets of terrorism, or in
Hanafi’s words, the victimizers and the victims. To bridge the chasm separating the
two cultures, a dialogue between equal partners must be promoted, because so far, “…
the stumbling block in the Euro-Arab dialogue is the discrepancy between the
European economic agenda and the Arab political agenda.”
In a similar fashion, Mokhtar Benabdallaoui does not consider terrorism in the
conventional sense. He relates it to the larger concept of violence and maintains that in
different contexts violence changes its meaning and its legal and moral status. But
despite its complex, protean nature, terrorism, the extreme form of violence, should be
condemned in all its forms, including, and above all, state terrorism, which is often
thought to complement and support the law. Nevertheless, concludes the author, the
eradication of global terrorism should not be pursued by pointing a finger at a specific
religion or culture, or by invoking cultural Darwinism. The best way to counter the
phenomenon is by constructing a more just and interdependent world society,
composed of autonomous and free governments and societies with the appropriate
means to promote new values.

Dealing more with the perpetrators of terrorism than with the act itself, Anne
Speckhard calls attention to the unique and devastating phenomenon of suicide
terrorism. In a detailed and insightful study of suicide terrorism, one of the first of its
kind, the author describes the motivations and rewards that induce young persons to
become suicide bombers. The individual, psychological and social conditions that
underlie and support these tragic choices are objectively depicted in order not only to
better understand this most devastating form of terrorism, but more importantly, to find
ways of opposing it. Speckhard offers some valuable proposals following her in-depth
analysis and a series of rare interviews with prospective suicide-bombers. She argues,
among other things, that “religious leaders must begin to stand up to the manipulation
of Islam by Jihadist militants, and those who do speak out ought to be supported (if
quietly) by the West.” The prevention and gradual reduction of the threat posed by
suicide terrorism must address its root causes. She asserts further that, “Repressive
governments must be encouraged and pressured to reform, so as to open the way for
economic growth and increased opportunities for the frustrated, disillusioned and often
well-educated youth who constitute the most explosive sector of the societies from
which suicide terrorism comes.”
General Mansour Abu Rashid, a former Director of the Jordanian Military
Intelligence Department, discusses issues from the pure practitioner’s perspective.
After discussing several practical difficulties in the conceptualization of terrorism and
counter-terrorism, he turns to the pragmatic and programmatic questions of what can be
done about terrorism. In a succinct and realistic manner, Abu Rashid enumerates what
should be done on various levels – political, economic, ideological and informational.
He concludes that: “fighting the contemporary wave of terrorism requires a multi-
branched, multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional response. Although the traditional
instruments – police and intelligence services – are the most critical, they are
inadequate to meet the extent and emerging challenge of terrorism.” Finally, the
General adds a counter-intuitive argument, which resonates well with his extensive
experience: “an effort to institutionalize the war on terror should avoid trying to
achieve greater intelligence-sharing. This oft-cited goal is best handled through
bilateral intelligence channels.”
Abu Rashid’s contribution structurally links terrorism and counter-terrorism and
also relates to three further papers which do this using illustrations from three
distinctive case studies: the Palestinian-Israeli, the Spanish-Basque and the Russian-
Chechnyan. In the first of the three, Eitan Alimi analyzes the revealing case of the
Tanzim (Arabic for organization). In the second Intifadah (2000–2004), or uprising of
the Palestinians against the Israeli occupation, this militant faction of the Palestinian
armed forces was at the forefront of violent assaults against the Israelis. Although
regarded by Israeli Intelligence as a terrorist group, some of its leaders were previously
committed supporters of the Oslo peace initiative. Alimi expands the theoretical
approach to comprehending terrorism by embedded his case study in the larger
framework of collective action and social movement theory. Such an approach, Alimi
believes, will shed more light on the radicalization of the formerly non-extremist
Tanzim and in addition supply counter-terrorism with fresh new insights to improve on
the ways it has been conducted so far. Radicalization in general, and the resort to
violence and terrorism in particular, can be better understood in the context of internal
organizational dynamics, or in the author’s terms, the milieu of the SMO (social
movement organization). “The study of counter-terrorism would benefit from viewing
ix
a terrorist organization as one actor in the overall ‘field of actors’ – a social movement,
and from furthering the analysis of the internal dynamics within the movement.”
Thereby, perceptiveness, discernment and pragmatism in understanding terrorism and
counter-terrorism would be best served.
Juan Aviles introduces the Spanish case, specifically the fight against the Basque
separatist terror group ETA. The author poses the question of how to characterize the
indiscriminate killing of civilians during armed conflict. This is a hybrid situation
between the killing of civilians in peacetime, which is clearly terrorism, and the killing
of army and police personnel during violent conflict, which is more like guerrilla
warfare. However, ETA terrorism falls in the middle, for it also attacks (though not
exclusively) civilian targets in the midst of an ongoing conflict with the Spanish
government. Additionally, in an age of protracted, low-intensity conflicts, does the
struggle constitute a war or an anomaly in a time of peace? How to characterize ETA
then: terrorist group? guerrilla movement? paramilitary unit, or perhaps a band of
committed freedom fighters? This is not simply an exercise in semantics, but rather a
serious question of how to defeat Basque extremists and with what means: legal,
political, military or diplomatic. Ultimately, Aviles concludes that recognizing ETA as
a political actor and permitting its political arm to participate in Basque elections was a
mistake. Another mistake was that the Spanish authorities resorted to undemocratic
measures in their campaign against ETA. This was counter-productive and hurt the
interests of the State. One of the biggest challenges, perhaps the most crucial, in
fighting terrorism in an open society is waging efficient counter-terrorism without
abandoning the principles of the democratic State.
A Russian and an Armenian scholar introduce the problem of terrorism in
Chechnya. Vorkunova and Hovhannesian argue that terrorism challenges order and
stability by “ultimately … creating the conditions for chaos and uncoordinated
activities. It is conceived to include systems of disorder at all levels of human
activity’.” They call attention to the expansion of the official Russian approach to
terrorism as the Chechnyan terrorist campaign began to take its toll on the Russian
people. From the rather limited and narrow Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code
to the Russian Federation Federal Law On the Fight Against Terrorism, adopted on
June 25, 1998, the scope of counter-terrorism has widened in direct proportion to the
growing menace of Chechnyan terrorism. The authors point to the amalgam of
traditional and modern motives in Chechnyan terrorism which render it extremely
brutal and ruthless. Bolstered by intense Islamic fervor, this terrorism represents a
formidable challenge to the newly founded democracy in Russia. However, as the
authors poignantly stress, counter-terrorism in that region is still very cumbersome and
handicapped by mutual suspicions and fears for economic, environmental and genetic
security, the breakdown of the traditional system of values and the traditional way of
life in the South Caucasus.
The last part of the book concentrates on counter-terrorism and its challenges
before the background of the open society. This section focuses on analytical models
for combating terrorism in democracies without sacrificing civil liberties. Dealing
again with the delicate issue of finding a balance between the necessity to oppose
terrorism and the need to preserve the spirit of liberty, this section brings to the fore the
legal perspective. Two experts on international law, one Israeli and the other German,
present two contrasting viewpoints on that controversial subject, whose differences are
quite apparent when juxtaposed. Barry Feinstein, in a carefully reasoned study of the
x
State’s right to defend itself against terrorism, positively evaluates and justifies
counter-terrorism as a form of preemptive strike. He draws heavily on international law
when he asserts that, “[b]eyond the responsibility of a State for all acts conducted
within its territory which violate the rights of another State, as well as for any resulting
violations of the other State’s sovereignty, it moreover must actively prevent such acts
and violations.” Of course, if there are other alternatives to the use of force against the
threat of terrorism, they must be chosen. But if there are none, “the State thereby
attacked is indeed permitted to exercise force to protect itself pursuant to its inherent
right of self-defense” according to Article 51 of the UN Charter. But then, an obviously
pragmatic, but also moral, question arises: when to launch a pre-emptive strike? What
are the justifiable grounds to initiate counter-terrorism, or should anti-terrorism efforts
be exclusively reactive? Must States threatened by terrorism wait for a clear and
present danger to arise, or for a threat of considerable consequence? Feinstein rejects
this latter alternative. He believes that counter-terrorism is applicable not only in
situations where a threat is imminent, “but also in those cases where the danger is more
remote, but nevertheless real,” if the intent of the terrorist to attack has been
demonstrated in the past.
Berthold Meyer is less willing to condone pre-emptive measures. He earnestly
questions whether increasing security is a suitable means to protect liberty. In an
illuminating survey of German Law and German security measures taken after 9/11,
Meyer concludes that German leaders neglected their most critical obligation: to defend
freedom and civil liberties. By shifting the balance between security and democracy in
favor of security, and by relying too heavily on “stockpiles of paragraphs on suspicion”
and presumed intentions to act, rather than on actual and demonstrated infringements of
security, the German Law on Terrorism, known as Security Packet II, fails to embody
the spirit of democracy. The criteria for when to apply the strict Law are the tests of
sufficient probability and life experience. Using such criteria is, in the author’s words,
“treading on shaky ground.” Meyer’s own recommendations are clear: there must be
stricter and more demanding standards for action, even, and especially, when emotions
and sentiments are strongly aroused. The usefulness of any countermeasure against
terrorism must be evaluated before its implementation, and new security legislation
should expire after two years unless extended. This is the only way, warns Meyer, “to
prevent civil rights from being permanently limited.”
Wilhelm Kempf and Lubna Nadvi also offer reservations and admonitions against
excessive counter-terrorist measures. Their perspectives differ from the previous
writers and reflect their respective research disciplines, psychology and political
science. Kempf examines and criticizes the overly ambitious and overly aggressive
trends of post-9
/11 counter-terrorism. He points out that, “outrage at war is
transformed into outrage at the enemy,” which does not serve democracies well. The
reprehensible attacks of September 11, 2001 could, he proposes, have been adequately
dealt with using strong legal, economic and diplomatic means, but instead the United
Stated chose a policy of extreme force. The author attributes this response to America’s
threatened pride in its world leadership. The vulnerability of the US triggered a “…
natural impulse that American self-confidence needed to be restored and strength
needed to be demonstrated by fighting back.” This was the wrong approach to counter-
terrorism not only because it is irrational, but also because it is counter-productive and
self-defeating. The US launched an all-out war against an elusive enemy and
committed its armed forces to a protracted campaign that has provoked animosity and
