Content: More than a decade after the emergence of global and strategic terrorism (of the Al Qaeda type) or at least its expression, can we draw a conclusion, however tentative, about the consequences it has produced and an assessment of whether the premises from which it was born have been maintained?
The first part of this issue-an analysis of global terrorism-attempts to answer such questions as: when did global terrorism arise? why did it arise? after a little more than a decade, can we see any successes from it?
The second part-an assessment of the tools for building peace-explreses the patchwork of modes of peacemaking, which can vary widely in effectiveness depending on the level and the terrorist conflict.
The third part explores the hypothesis that Europe’s new role is to ensure conflict resolution through a process based on 1) negotiation, 2) an active bystander function, including peace tables and conferences at which competitors and bystanders gather, 3) an appropriate economic policy, 4) a supply of interposition military and police forces, and 5) a search for the elements that unite the contenders rather than those that may express expanding European power politics.
