This innovative text provides a much-needed critical introduction
to terrorism. Cutting-edge research on contemporary issues is
combined with new insights into long-debated issues such as the
definition of terrorism, the nature of the terrorist threat and
counter-terrorism strategies. Showing that the methods we adopt as
well as the material we study are vital for a clear understanding
of the subject, this text goes beyond traditional IR approaches to
rethink popular beliefs and assumptions about terrorism. Taking a
genuinely global and integrated approach, this book is an ideal
entry into the study of terrorism. In the years since 9/11,
terrorism has been transformed into an issue of global
significance. Terrorism and the war on terror has affected
virtually every aspect of modern life, and a precise understanding
of terrorism is now more important - and contentious - than ever.
This text examines the origins, perceptions of, and responses to,
terrorism and counter-terrorism in the contemporary world. It takes
into account recent developments on the world stage as well as
within - and in response to - critical terrorism studies. This text
is the ultimate companion for students studying terrorism as part
of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. It guides students
step-by-step to have a deeper understanding of terrorism and a more
nuanced approach to their studies.
