Perspective: A
Review for the
Next American
President
By
RICHARD A. CLARKE
and
EMILIAN PAPADOPOULOS
The next American president will encounter a land-
scape with regard to terrorism, and specifically violent
Islamist extremism, that is challenging and also much
changed from eight years ago, when President Obama
took office. The changes relate to failed and failing
states in the Middle East and surrounding region, the
terrorist organizations themselves, how the United
States has dealt with the problem of terrorism, and how
the problem has manifested in Europe. Even if the
United States and its allies continue to retake territory
from Daesh (or ISIS) and are able to disrupt other ter-
rorist organizations, the problems of violent Islamist
extremism and the societal and demographic condi-
tions that enable it will persist. This volume seeks to
define the problem and set it in context, and to offer
some paths and priorities for the next president and her
or his administration, including in the emerging and
promising field of countering violent extremism (CVE).
