    CNA Panel_Ep1

    Synopsis 

    Terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, beheadings by militant groups in the Philippines, etc. show the magnitude and severity of the ad hoc threat of terrorism. Global terrorism’s ongoing threat to national security is challenging the social stability and security of states. How can states protect themselves from the threat of terrorism? What are the fundamental ideologies that terrorists are acting on?  How can states get to the heart of the terror organisations to combat them?
