THIS PAPER, A CONDENSATION OF THE AUTHOR'S DOCTORAL THESIS, IS A STUDY OF THE EFFORTS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO BUILD A STRUCTURE OF DETERRENCE AGAINST ACTS OF TRANSNATIONAL TERRORISM.

Abstract

DIPLOMATIC KIDNAPPINGS, INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM, THE POLICY OF NOT BARGAINING WITH TERRORISTS, AND THE DETERRENCE OF FUTURE CRIMES ARE DISCUSSED WITH FREQUENT REFERENCES TO ACTUAL EVENTS AND OUTCOMES.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL MOVEMENTS AND CONFLICT ARE ANALYZED AS THEY RELATE TO TERRORISM....MSP
