Counter-terrorism
Definition
The set of political doctrines, military strategies, national laws, intelligence measures, and international treaties adopted by a state or a coalition with the aim of preventing, discouraging, and countering terrorist threats. Unlike direct tactical intervention (anti-terror), counter-terrorism includes long-term strategies, such as cutting off financing sources for extremist groups, intelligence gathering, and combating radicalization.
