Terrorism (eBook, ePUB)

Understanding the Global Threat

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What is terrorism and where does it come from? Who are the people who perpetrate terror? What are their motives? This accessible account of the concept of terrorism provides a global guide to understanding what the threat is and exactly where it comes from. Without this knowledge, argues David Whittaker, there can be no way forward in prevention and control. The book looks in particular at how terrorism has shaped and been shaped by the past half century, the driving forces behind it, the methods, the psychology and the money.

Suitable for undergraduate students taking courses on terrorism, war and peace studies, national security and international relations.
