Contest as strategy: reassessing Britain's counterterrorism approach / Gearson, John; Rosemont, Hugo

Rosemont, Hugo	Article

Summary/Abstract

The appropriateness of the United Kingdom's counterterrorism strategy, known as CONTEST, divides opinion. This article reassesses CONTEST as strategy rather than simply examining its effectiveness as policy, or critiquing its individual parts. Reviewing the development of CONTEST in the context of wider analytical discussions on what makes for good strategy, the authors argue that several important strands of CONTEST are either underdeveloped or not yet as “strategic” as some analysts and the U.K. government itself have professed them to be. Fresh thinking on aspects of counterterrorism is urgently needed to counter the challenge of contemporary and future terrorism.

Summary/Abstract

Governments need to articulate, develop and deploy the role of industry in the delivery of security strategies. In the UK, the second iteration of CONTEST and its associated documents provide unprecedented levels of detail on the role of industry in delivering national security. However, the next government should enhance its framework for delivering the 'industrial elements of security'. As well as being a strategic requirement, closer work with industry now offers the UK some significant opportunities.
