Description

Contains two articles: (1) “Effects-Based Operations and Terrorism,” by David B. Lazarus: Offers an Australian view of the concepts, philosophies, and relevance of effects-based operations (EBO) in the fight against terrorism. Lazarus contends that al-Qaeda’s actions can be understood through an EBO lens and concludes that the only effective response is to employ a higher-level effects-based strategy (EBS). To be successful, EBS will have to overcome the challenges of Muslim distrust and the changing strategies associated with short-lived Western democratic political administrations. (2) “Effects-Based Operations: A Military Application of Pragmatic Analysis,” by Dr. Alexandre Sergio da Rocha: Presents a Brazilian perspective of the relationship between pragmatical analysis and EBO, showing how the former encompasses the latter’s typical features and provides insights into some aspects of EBO. He notes that any set of connected purposive actions is a collective work and must be considered from multiple standpoints. A successful planner must be aware of these different frameworks and their interrelationships. Illus.
