International terrorism and the 'war' against it have come to
define the age in which we live. The threat of terrorist attacks
and the measures taken by governments around the world to prevent
such atrocities are now part of our daily lives. But what exactly
do we mean by global terrorism? Why does it occur? And, most
importantly, what can be done about it?
This book explores global terror from a range of perspectives -
from the impact of terrorism on the international system to the
American 'War on Terror' and the individual motivations of the
suicide bomber. Core themes such as the funding of terrorist groups
and the roles of intelligence-gathering and international law in
combating terrorism are fully explored. The volume also offers
in-depth analyses of the relationship between globalization and
terrorism as well as regional and country-based responses to the
rise of terrorist networks in Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and
Africa.
Understanding Global Terror includes a thought-provoking preface
by Philip C. Bobbitt and contributions from Christopher Ankersen,
Alexander Bialsky, James Boutilier, Chris Brown, Michael Cox,
Lawrence Freedman, Margot Light, Christopher Mackmurdo, Kerry Lynn
Nanikvell, Martin Navias, Ami Pedahzur, Arie Perliger, Dinah
Pokempner, Timothy Shaw, and William Wallace.
