A valuable study of the nature and development of terrorism in all
its forms in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Powerfully
argued and thought-provoking, Terrorism and Global Disorder
examines whether the world changed as a result of the events of 11
September 2001. It argues that the significance of 9/11 has been
overstated and that terrorism with a global reach is best seen as a
consequence of other, more fundamental changes. The author contends
that the development and global outreach of terrorism stem from the
end of the Cold War and the collapse of the superpower hegemony,
aided by the spread of international technology and communications.
He also examines the consequences of the political exploitation of
terrorism and underlines the dangers created by the politicization
of counter-terrorism for partisan purposes. Above all, this
stimulating book attempts to place terrorism - now a word full of
nuance and meaning and denoting a phenomenon which occupies so much
government time and money - within the context of history and
current affairs. It is an important contribution to the ongoing
debate about the causes and nature of terrorism.
