The Terrorism Research Center has released the seminal work on counterterrorism issues. Developed over the course of 10 years, the book “Counterterrorism: Bridging Operations and Theory, is meant to help facilitate the gulf between those engaging in applied aspects of counterterrorism–essentially early warning, pre-emption response, mitigation, and consequence management–and those who are studying the underlying components of terrorism itself–e.g. how to define it, its causation, radicalization processes, group evolutionary patterns, and incident lessons learned–in order to better understand this phenomena for counterterrorism research purposes. Often such a diverse grouping of professionals and scholars are not found together in a project such as this because their paths do not normally cross.With over fifty contributors to this work–including internationally recognized scholars.
