PREFACE
This report examines social and economic development policies en-
acted by three countries—Israel, the Philippines, and the United
Kingdom—to inhibit a resurgence of terrorist violence within their
territorial jurisdictions. The analysis focuses on development initia-
tives that have been incorporated in wider peace and conflict resolu-
tion efforts in an attempt to mitigate local perceptions of past
wrongdoings in communities that support terrorist groups. The re-
search was designed to inform the U.S. governmental decisionmak-
ing community of the benefits and possible pitfalls of emphasizing a
specific social and economic dimension in strategies to counter the
problem of terrorism.
In the months immediately following the September 11, 2001, terror-
ist attacks on the United States, RAND undertook several research
projects related to counterterrorism and homeland security topics as
elements of its continuing program of self-sponsored research. This
report is the result of one of those research projects. The work was
supported through the provisions for independent research and de-
velopment in RAND’s contracts for the operation of Department of
Defense federally funded research and development centers: Project
AIR FORCE (sponsored by the U.S. Air Force), the Arroyo Center
(sponsored by the U.S. Army), and the National Defense Research
Institute (sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the
Joint Staff, the unified commands, and the defense agencies). Dr.
C. Richard Neu, Assistant to RAND’s President for Research on Coun-
terterrorism, provided overall supervision for this research. Com-
ments on this study are welcomed and should be addressed either to
the two authors or to Dr. Neu.
