Abstract
The essays in this book were originally presented as speeches to the SDSC conference "Post 11 September - New Directions, held on 11 September 2002. They assess where counter-terrorism efforts are, and should be, headed as a consequence of the attacks on the US homeland and the initiation of the "war on terror. Several interesting themes emerge, including the prospects for the American-led campaign against global terrorism, security threats in Southeast Asia, and the strategic implications for Australia. Contributors include the Secretary of the Commonwealth Attorney General's Department, Robert Cornall; Executive Director of the Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence, Dr Grant Wardlaw; four members of the SDSC, Professor Paul Dibb AM, Professor Desmond Ball, Dr Coral Bell and Dr Ron Huisken; as well as two leading authorities on Southeast Asia, Dr Greg Fealy and Dr John Funston. The book is edited by Clive Williams MG, and Dr Brendan Taylor
