About this title

Synopsis

Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century helps readers understand terrorism, responses to it, and current trends that affect the future of this phenomenon.

Putting terrorism into historical perspective and analyzing it as a form of political violence, this text presents the most essential concepts, the latest data, and numerous case studies to promote effective analysis of terrorist acts. Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century objectively breaks down the who-what-why-how of terrorism, giving readers a way both to understand patterns of behavior and to more critically evaluate forthcoming patterns.

From the Back Cover

This book presents an unbiased perspective to examine the known facets of contemporary terrorism — explaining what terrorism is, who carries it out, and how terrorist acts are committed. It also analyzes the laws and special forces which nations within the international community have created to meet this challenge, and predicts forthcoming patterns of terrorism in the new century. Chapter topics include ideology and terrorism, criminals and crusaders, terrorism by the state, the media, legal perspectives, counterterrorism, security measures, and future trends. A post Cold War focus enables readers and concerned citizens to evaluate the dimensions of the problems presented by contemporary terrorism, and challenges them to develop solutions.
