This new Reader aims to guide students through some of the key
readings on the subject of terrorism and political violence.
In an age when there is more written about terrorism than anyone
can possibly read in a lifetime, it has become increasingly
difficult for students and scholars to navigate the literature. At
the same time, courses and modules on terrorism studies are
developing at a rapid rate. To meet this challenge, this
wide-ranging Reader seeks to equip the aspiring student, based
anywhere in the world, with a comprehensive introduction to the
study of terrorism. Containing many of the most influential and
groundbreaking studies from the world s leading experts, drawn from
several academic disciplines, this volume is the essential
companion for any student of terrorism and political violence.
The Reader, which starts with a detailed Introduction by the
editors, is divided into seven sections, each of which contains a
short introduction as well as a guide to further reading and
student discussion questions:
- Terrorism in Historical Context
- Definitions
- Understanding and Explaining Terrorism
- Terrorist Movements
- Terrorist Behaviour
- Counterterrorism
- Current and Future Trends in Terrorism.
This Reader will be essential reading for students of Terrorism
and Political Violence, and highly recommended for students of
Security Studies, War and Conflict Studies and Political Science in
general, as well as for practitioners in the field of
counter-terrorism and homeland security.
