Focusing on the continued terrorist threat by jihadist groups, such
as Al Qaeda and ISIS, and homegrown violent far-right and far-left
extremists in the West, Terrorism and Counterterrorism investigates
this form of political violence in a historical and contemporary
context. In this comprehensive and highly readable text, renowned
expert Brigitte Nacos clearly defines terrorism's diverse causes,
actors, and strategies; outlines anti- and counterterrorist
responses; and highlights terrorism's relationship with the public
and media. Terrorism and Counterterrorism introduces students to
the field's main debates and helps them critically assess our
understanding of, and our strategies for, addressing this complex
and enduring issue. New to the Seventh Edition: The new chapter 3
reviews the history of terrorism-both domestic and international,
whereas the new chapter 4 analyses the terrorist landscape in the
third decade of the 21st century-including the transnational links
between violent far-right and far-left violent extremists. The
discussion of religious terrorism in chapter 5 ends with an added
section about QAnon as religiopolitical cult. An extended section
in chapter 7 is devoted to the increasingly militant roles of
females in violent far-right extremism. The revised chapter 10
starts with the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops from Afghanistan and
an account of total costs spent on the post-9/11 war against
terrorism before discussing the counterterrorism strategies of
presidents G.W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. The failures and
successes of the U.S. intelligence community in efforts to prevent
terrorism at home with relevant data and case studies are new
features in chapter 12.
