Abstract
Counter terrorism is an important strategy, technique and policy opted by different states to deal with all types of terrorist activities. It is a method for the solution of the existing complex issue of terrorism or an effective tool in dealing with all the possible threats of terrorist groups. There is not any single counter terrorist technique, i.e. applicable as the solution to the challenges created by the violent and dissident organizations through the entire world. One scheme of counter terrorism, which works in one place or time, could fail in another place or time. Therefore, terrorism is far too complex for one solution to be effective in dealing with all possible threats. There are certain obvious possible responses to combat the threat of terrorism like the provision of a tight and better security system, disrupting and freezing the finances, repression and retaliation, punishment for the supporters of the terrorists, diplomatic and cooperative measures to curb and control terrorism being applied by the states and non-state actors since 9/11 to the current global environment. The countries like Britain, Canada, Germany, Pakistan, United States and the European Union adopted coercive measures of countering terrorism with strict military operations and non-military tactics. The Global counter-terrorism strategies included certain approaches i.e. the war, crime, and disease approach of combating domestic and international terrorism. The study reveals the ratio of success and failure of counter-terrorism strategies applied by the states and non-states actors due to certain discrepancies of theory and practice in the present global politics. The authoritarian and democratic societies use the same mechanism of counter terrorism that work to defuse and defeat the domestic extremists and foreign activists of involved terrorist organizations.
