DOC Women's Lives in Medieval Europe: A Sourcebook by From Routledge in History

Description

This book examines the terrorist networks that operate globally and analyses the long-term future of terrorism and terrorist-backed insurgencies. Terrorism remains a serious problem for the international community. The global picture does not indicate that the ‘war on terror’; which President George W. Bush declared in the wake of the 9/11 attacks; has been won. On the other hand it would be incorrect to assume that Al Qaeda; its affiliates and other jihadi groups have won their so-called ‘holy war’ against the Coalition against Terrorism formed after 9/11. This new edition gives more attention to the political and strategic impact of modern transnational terrorism; the need for maximum international cooperation by law-abiding states to counter not only direct threats to the safety and security of their own citizens but also to preserve international peace and security through strengthening counter-proliferation and cooperative threat reduction (CTR). This book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of terrorism studies; political science and international relations; as well as for policy makers and journalists.
