This volume is a collection of articles that critically examine the
efficacy, ethics, and impact of the War on Terror as it has evolved
since 9/11. During the decade and a half of the Global War on
Terror (GWOT), numerous books have considered the political,
psychosocial, and economic impacts of terrorism. However, there has
been little systematic effort to examine the effectiveness of the
GWOT in achieving its goals. Furthermore, there is virtually
nothing that presents a comparative analysis of the GWOT by the
people most directly affected by it-citizens and scholars from
conflict zones in the Middle East. There is, therefore, great need
for a book that analyzes the strategies, tactics, and outcomes of
the GWOT and that also presents facts and ideas that are missing or
underrepresented in the dominant public narratives. The
contributions in this volume were chosen to specifically address
this need. In doing so, it uniquely provides not only Western
perspectives of the GWOT, but also importantly includes
perspectives from the Middle East and those most directly affected
by it, including contributions from scholars and policy makers.
Overall, the contributions demonstrate how views differ based on
geographical location, and how views have changed during the course
of the still-evolving War on Terror. The book will be of much
interest to students and scholars of terrorism and
counter-terrorism, foreign policy, Middle Eastern politics,
security studies and IR, as well as policy makers.
