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. Contributors: David C. Rapoport, Isabelle Duyvesteyn,
