Game theory was used to analyze several incidents in each of two case studies selected for this research. These include: Palestinian terrorists and the State of Israel, and the Irish Republican Army and the British Government in Northern Ireland. Deterrence and preemption, in their appropriate form, context and application, can mitigate terrorism. Just and proportionate state actions that can be anticipated based on well communicated conditions with the intent to separate terrorists from their support networks in concert with an attempt to address causal issues is essential for long-term resolution. By contrast, however, if not employed correctly, these strategies can exacerbate conflict. Keywords. deterrence, preemption, terrorism, Ireland, Israel, game theory, strategy. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Military studies; 0750:Military studies | | Added Entry | : | Royal Military College of Canada (Canada) |
