Experts explore the sources of contemporary terrorism, what
terrorists want, and how the United States and other countries
should respond. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, scholars
and policy analysts in national security have turned their
attention to terrorism, considering not only how to prevent future
attacks but also the roots of the problem. This book offers some of
the latest research in terrorism studies. The contributors examine
the sources of contemporary terrorism, discussing the impact of
globalization, the influence of religious beliefs, and the
increasing dissatisfaction felt by the world's powerless. They
consider the strategies and motivations of terrorists, offering
contending perspectives on whether or not terrorists can be said to
achieve their goals; explore different responses to the threat of
terrorism, discussing such topics as how the United States can work
more effectively with its allies; and contemplate the future of
al-Qaida, asking if its networked structure is an asset or a
liability. The essays in Contending with Terrorism address some of
the central topics in the analysis of contemporary terrorism. They
promise to guide future policy and inspire further research into
one of most important security issues of the twenty-first century.
