Abstract

The Global War on Terror has claimed countless lives, cost trillions of dollars, and has led to complications such as environmental damage and refugee crises. This essay provides an analysis of the current counterterrorism strategy of traditional warfare, concluding that this strategy must be adapted for the modern landscape. By analyzing two case studies, as well as sources ranging from government documents to polling data to newspapers, this essay argues that counterterrorism financing is the best strategy to spearhead global counterterrorism efforts. Counterterrorism financing proves to be the most reliable, ethical and promising strategy that can bring an end to a seemingly endless struggle.
