Many associate terrorism with irrational behavior and believe only
lunatics could perpetuate such horrific acts. Global Alert debunks
this myth by anatomizing the rationale behind modern terrorism. It
draws a distinct picture of its root and instrumental causes and
plots the different stages of a terrorist attack, from
indoctrination and recruitment to planning, preparation, and
launch. Global Alert also exposes the measured exploitation of
democratic institutions by terrorists to further their goals.
Despite its strong capabilities and extensive resources, the modern
liberal-democratic state is nevertheless subject to the rules of
war, which partially restrict the state's ability to operate and
maneuver. Boaz Ganor shows how terrorist organizations exploit
these values to paralyze or neutralize the states they oppose. In
outlining this new "hybrid" terrorist organization and its activity
in both the military-terrorist arena and the political-welfare
arena, Ganor advances an international doctrine for governing
military operations between state and nonstate actors as part of a
new type of armed conflict termed "multidimensional warfare."
