This book argues that terrorism in the modern world has occurred in
four "waves" of forty years each. It offers evidence-based
explanations of terrorism, national identity, and political
legitimacy by leading scholars from various disciplineswith
contrasting perspectives on political violence. Whether violence is
local or global, it tends to be both patterned and innovative. It
elicits chaos, but can be understood by the application of new
models or theories, depending upon the methods and data experts
employ. The contributors in this volume apply their experiences and
studies of terrorists, mob violence, fashions in international and
political violence, religion's role in terrorism and violence, the
relationship between technology and terror, a recurring paradigm of
terrorist waves, nation-states struggling to establish
democratic/elective governments, and factions competing for control
within states - in order to make sense of both national and
international acts of political violence and to ask and answer some
of the most disturbing questions these phenomena present. This book
will be of much interest to students of terrorism, religion and
violence, nationalism, sociology, war and conflict studies and IR
in general.
