Terrorism and other transnational security threats often involve interactions among hostile states or non-state actors with specific political goals and criminal groups simply seeking financial gain. This mutation of criminal and terrorist actors blurred both categorization of these threats and which arms of government should be charged with addressing them. Effective counter-terrorist efforts require the military and law enforcement to work together in a more coordinated strategic partnership. The seminar's intent is thus to foster a better understanding of the evolving challenge in combating terrorism. It seeks to discover what has been successful in various countries and regions and what still requires work in developing the relationships between military and law enforcement planning and operations.
