Are we winning the "war on terror?"
Nearly six years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, it is a question worth asking.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of U.S. successes and failures in the "war on terror," theAmerican Security Project (ASP) has developed ten criteria to measure progress in combating the violent jihadist movement.
The findings of this research will be summarized in a new report, "Are We Winning? Measuring Progress in the Struggle Against Violent Jihadism."
This compelling study seeks to move the public debate beyond simplified discussions of the threat to a more thorough consideration of the causes and processes that contribute to jihadist violence.
It is the first to examine together the component pieces of the struggle against Islamist terrorism, and to produce metrics of success that are both as objective as possible and reproducible on an annual basis.
