The Dynamics of British Counter Terrorism Strategy in the Post 9/11 Environment: An Analysis of Evolution, Prospects and Challenges

Abstract

The Scourge of terrorism has emerged as a gigantic threat to global peace and humanity since the events of 9/11 which guided the states to adopt new counter terrorism strategies to contain and crush the threats and activities of the perpetrators. The United Kingdom along with its collated partners applied a strict mechanism and measures to destroy the sanctuaries of the dissidents for the sake of lasting global peace. The British government has strongly emphasized on certain soft and hard policies through social, political, economic and military deterrence. How the Britain’s Counter Terrorism policy paradigms evolved, applied and faced certain challenges to be enforced? There are domestic and external actors involved to facilitate the home-grown terrorism in England. The work focuses on the ratio of success and failure of the current British Counter Terrorism policy along with its drawbacks and flaws reflecting in the Counter Terrorism synergism. Has the credibility of British security agencies been compromised in the context of operational obligation and interactive coordination with Global Counter Terrorism Strategies? The British security agencies and counter terrorism authorities have contributed a lion’s share in countering domestic and global terrorism but yet to do a lot of work remains ahead. The study comprises prospects and implications of British counter terrorism policy in the context of comparative approach that how much United Kingdom has contributed and achieved the determined targets while fighting the global war on terror in its domestic and external as an ally of the United States during 2001-2023.
