Some of the world's most lethal terrorist organizations have become
media-centric enterprises, while also hijacking a major world
religion, holding large swathes of physical territory, and
governing their own virtual states. In this concise and penetrating
book, Seib traces how terrorism has proliferated and increased
significantly in menace in the relatively brief period between the
rise of al-Qaeda and the creation of Islamic State. With close
attention to the linkages between media, religion, and violence,
the book offers incisive analysis of how organizations such as
Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram operate and reflects on how
terrorism may continue to evolve. Seib argues that
twenty-first-century terrorism is enabled by new media and depends
on social networks as connective tissue, while interacting
simultaneously with religion and socio-economic and political
grievances. As Terrorism Evolves prescribes new measures for
counterterrorism efforts, underscores the importance of soft power,
and makes a strong case for recognizing that we have entered an era
of terrorism of undetermined duration.
