Today, no single issue dominates the global political landscape as muchas terrorism. Aware of their unique position in the newly unipolarworld, terrorist leaders - Osama bin Laden foremost among them - havearticulated that economic warfare is a key component of the newterrorist agenda. Governments have accentuated the role of economictools in their counter-terrorism policies while maintaining emphasis onthe application of military force, or "hard power," even though suchtools often prove unnecessarily blunt, or in some cases are sorelyinadequate. Given the complexity of the global threat posed by moderntrans-national terrorist groups, combating terrorism with a mix of hardand "soft power" is more important than ever. The need for nuancedmanagement and a full complement of choices in the policy toolkit is apressing concern.
