The New Age of Terrorism and the International Political System

Examining the evolution of terrorism, this book questions whether the 9/11 attacks marked a significant shift in political violence or if it remains rooted in historical patterns of small group activism against perceived imperialism. It analyzes global perceptions and responses to terrorism, highlighting how groups can engage in peace processes and governance. Through case studies of attacks in various cities, the author argues that while fear and perceptions may have changed, the fundamental nature of terrorism has not. This work is essential for students, policymakers, and general readers interested in conflict resolution.
