This book examines two key themes in terrorism studies, the
radicalization process and counter-terrorism policies, through the
lens of social networks. The book aims to show that networks should
be at the forefront not only when analysing terrorists, but also
when assessing the responses to their actions. The volume makes a
unique contribution by addressing two relatively new themes for
terrorism studies. First it puts social relations and cooperation
issues at the forefront - an approach often identified as crucial
to future breakthroughs in the field. Second, many contributions
tackle the role of the Internet in the process of radicalization
and in recruitment more generally, a highly debated topic in the
field today. In addition, the book provides a valuable mix of
review essays, critical essays, and original empirical studies.
This balanced approach is also found in the topics covered by the
authors, as well as their academic disciplines, which include
sociology, computer science, geography, history, engineering, and
criminology as well as political science. Many of the true advances
in terrorism studies depend on the successful collaboration of
multi-disciplinary teams, each with a different set of
methodological and conceptual tools. This volume reflects the
newfound diversity in this field and is a true product of its time.
This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism
studies, social networks, security studies, sociology, criminology
and international relations in general.
