The Changing Face of Terrorism

by Rohan Gunaratna (Editor), Gunaratna

In 11 essays, contributors describe new policies, models and techniques in place or being considered to combat terrorism after 9/11. Editor Gunaratna (Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies, Singapore) begins with an examination of what has changed and what remains the same, followed by topics such as new methods in terrorism, military options, counter-terrorism training, bioterrorism including terrorism by genome, and the racial, religious, and cultural factors of terrorism. The notes for each essay serve as bibliographies. Though the spine and title page say "European Universities Press by Marshall Cavendish," the imprint's new name is Marshall Cavendish Academic.
