This new volume explores terrorism and strategic terror,
examining how the public responds to terrorist attacks, and what
authorities can do in such situations.
The book uses a unique interdisciplinary approach, which
combines the behavioural sciences and international relations, in
order to further the understanding of the 'terror' generated by
strategic terror. The work examines five contemporary case studies
of the psychological and behavioural effects of strategic terror,
from either terrorist attacks or aerial bombardment. It also looks
at how risk-communication and public-health strategies can amplify
or reduce psychological and behavioural responses, and considers
whether behavioural effects translate into political effects, and
what governments can do to relieve this. Ultimately, the study
argues that the public is not prone to panic, but can change their
behaviours to reduce their perceived risk of being exposed to a
terrorist attack.
This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism
studies, homeland security, social psychology and politics in
general.
