The Global Threat of Terror probes the ideological nuances, the diverse motivations, the complex interrelations, and the patterns of proliferation among terrorist movements - and particularly those that secure their justification in millennial or religious ideologies. The book brings together international research and the experience of those who have actually handled counter-terrorism campaigns against terrorist movements in different parts of the world in order to generate an accurate threat assessment, and to explore coherent alternatives of response within the context of the evolving security environment in the post-9/11 global order.
