In recent years, senior policy officials have highlighted
increased signs of convergence between terrorism and unconventional
(CBRN) weapons. Terrorism now involves technologies available to
anyone, anywhere, anytime, deployed through innovative solutions.
This indicates a new and more complex global security environment
with increasing risks of terrorists trying to acquire and deploy a
CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear) attack.
This book addresses the critical importance of understanding
innovation and decision-making between terrorist groups and
unconventional weapons, and the difficulty in pinpointing what
factors may drive violence escalation. It also underscores the
necessity to understand the complex interaction between terrorist
group dynamics and decision-making behaviour in relation to old and
new technologies.
Unconventional Weapons and International Terrorism seeks to
identify a set of early warnings and critical indicators for
possible future terrorist efforts to acquire and utilize
unconventional CBRN weapons as a means to pursue their goals. It
also discusses the challenge for intelligence analysis in handling
threat convergence in the context of globalisation. The book will
be of great interest to students of terrorism studies,
counter-terrorism, nuclear proliferation, security studies and IR
in general.
