ABSTRACT

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the phenomenon of terrorism has become a complex, intertwined, and sophisticated phenomenon. The picture of terrorism has been diversified; its tools have expanded and its influence has expanded beyond the geopolitical limits of a country. Therefore, we find that behind this development are key factors, including the interdependence characteristic that made the world like a small cosmic village as a result of overlap due to technological developments and the secretions of globalization as well as the trends of the American political discourse to the post-September 11, 2001 events towards the Arab and Islamic countries, which contributed to the escalation of negative reactions against Western countries. The events of September 11, 2001 represented a qualitative shift in the history of global terrorism and the ways in which its strategic potential was exploited. It confirmed to us the fact that terrorist attacks can affect any country, regardless of the possibility of accumulating its strategic capabilities and influence in the global order. The study focused on the study of the use of strategic performance options in the framework of counter-terrorism (Iraq model), as a description of the situation and the subsequent input to understand and determine the elements of the strategic response to attitudes and actions. Various measures in the framework of combating terrorism and drying up sources of funding, contribute to the emergence of terrorism and its expansion in the Iraqi environment, and produce negative repercussions on the data of the Iraqi security situation, which in turn affect the regional security equation, as a result of the inability to formulate a strategic perspective that has a positive role especially in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001. Therefore, the fight against terrorism and its sources of funding, especially in Iraq, requires the production of a new global vision commensurate with the problems of change in the structure of the international system. Therefore, the research started from the premise that there is a positive relationship based on the close link between the use of strategic options for the force and the formulation of strategic action perceptions that contribute to drying up the sources of the terrorist phenomenon. We can employ diverse alternatives in the fight against terrorism and its new patterns, or employ a range of visions, perceptions, and behaviors related to rational and balanced strategic performance vis-a-vis the internal and external environments; this will contribute to improving the state’s position in the face of terrorism.
