| Terrorism and Australian business
Written by Peter Jennings, the Institute’s director of programs, the eight-page document seeks to raise important issues and to start a wider discussion. The paper’s summary sets the scene: “If terrorists choose to launch an attack in Australia or against our interests overseas, then it is likely that Australian businesses could be targeted. Yet there is much that business can do to become more resilient against the threat of terrorism and to help government defeat terror groups. This paper outlines several steps businesses should take to harden their operations against terrorism. An important part of this process is closer cooperation between government and business. Indeed the best way to defeat terrorism will involve government and business borrowing some of each other’s styles of operating: Governments must learn to be more open and flexible, while business must develop greater skills in strategic analysis and war gaming.”
