| Summary / Abstract (Note) | RICHARD BETTS argues that the September 11 attacks were a response to American primacy. He then applies offense-defense theory to explain the intense advantages that terrorist groups have in launching offensive strikes and in exploiting the limited defenses that a nation can put up in this era of globalization and asymmetric warfare. |
