Description:
International terrorism and the ?war? against it have
come to define the age in which we live. The threat of terrorist
attacks and the measures taken by governments around the world to
prevent such atrocities are now part of our daily lives. But what
exactly do we mean by global terrorism? Why does it occur? And,
most importantly, what can be done about it?


This book explores global terror from a range of perspectives
? from the impact of terrorism on the international system to
the American ?War on Terror? and the individual
motivations of the suicide bomber. Core themes such as the funding
of terrorist groups and the roles of intelligence-gathering and
international law in combating terrorism are fully explored. The
volume also offers in-depth analyses of the relationship between
globalization and terrorism as well as regional and country-based
responses to the rise of terrorist networks in Europe, Russia,
Southeast Asia and Africa.
