This book explores the innovations and advances in terrorist
tactics and technologies to help fill the gap in the contemporary
terrorism literature by developing an empirical theory of terrorist
innovation. The key question concerns the global historical trends
in terrorist innovation, as well as the critical factors
responsible for the differences in practices among terrorist
organizations.
The first part of the book provides an overview of the tactics
and technology used by terrorists in the last century and
identifies the key trends for the future. The second part compares
four differing terrorist organizations with the aim of identifying
key factors in producing innovative tactics and weaponry. The
volume provides a historical explanation of the trends in terrorist
innovation and also has policy relevance, as the ability to
identify signature characteristics of innovation-prone terrorist
organizations is a critical element in predictive threat
assessment.
Understanding Terrorist Innovation will be of great interest to
students of terrorism studies, security studies and political
science in general.
