In Modernity and Terrorism, Zafirovski and Rodeheaver analyse the
nature, types and causes of contemporary global terrorism. The book
redefines modern terrorism in a novel and more comprehensive manner
compared to previous literature. It examines counter-state and
state terrorism. The authors emphasise the latter in light of its
scale, persistence and intensity, as well as its relative neglect
in the literature. In essence, their findings show that
anti-liberalism in the form of conservatism as the main source and
force of modern terrorism.
In Militias in the New Millennium, Stan Weeber and Daniel
Rodeheaver examine the state of the U.S. citizen militia movement
in the new millennium. Using Smelser's theory of collective
behavior, the authors examine the causes, belief systems, and
electronic presence of militias, and the efforts of social control
agents to contain them. Tested with 1196 internet communications
and supplemented with interviews with militia members, Smelser's
theory of the origins and direction of radical social movements,
such as militias, is mostly confirmed by data analysis.
