CLARKE and EMILIAN PAPADOPOULOS Keywords: terrorism; Islamist extremists; U.S. policy; U.S. strategy; values; security Terrorism was a word hardly uttered in the 2000 presidential campaign in America, despite al Qaeda's attack of a U.S. navy warship during the candidates' final month on the road. By 2002, 2004, and 2006, terrorism was among the most discussed topics in the campaigns for Congress and the presidency. Already in 2007, terrorism featured prominently as a topic in the race to replace George W. Bush. Whoever does succeed him will turn his or her attention to terrorism early in the life of the new adminis- tration, not as President Bush did, waiting until attacked again to pay serious attention to the issue. But what should the new American administration do? The American Academy of Political and Social Science asked us to pull together a panel of scholars and experts to prepare a detailed background and agenda for the new president to read between election day and the inaugura- tion. We have been pleased and privileged to have most of the leading experts in the phenom- enon of violent Islamist extremist terrorism, as defined below, participate in the creation of this Richard A. Clarke served the past three presidents as a senior White House advisor holding the titles of special assistant to the president for global affairs, national coordinator for security and counterterrorism, and spe- cial advisor to the president for cyber security. Previously, he served for nineteen years in the Pentagon, the Intelligence Community, and the State Department. He is an on-air consultant for ABC News and the chairman of Good Harbor Consulting, LLC. Emilian Papadopoulos is a recent graduate of Harvard University's John E Kennedy School of Government and was a summer associate with Good Harbor Consulting, LLC, in 2007. He worked at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., and in U.S. Advocacy at Canadas Department of Foreign Affairs after receiving his bache- lors degree from the University f Toronto in 2004.
