商品描述
This book addresses critical questions in the field of terrorism studies that have long eluded consensus in the international community. It discusses why there is an abundance of definitions of terrorism and, on the other - the absence of a standard definition of terrorism reflected at the international level, shedding light on the elusive boundaries for achieving a global consensus.
The book's two compelling hypotheses pave the way for a fresh perspective on counterterrorism efforts. Firstly, the need for new legal frameworks that adapt to the evolving nature of terrorism, encompassing state-sponsored terrorism. Secondly, by examining the historical roots of terrorism, this book uncovers patterns that could reshape future counterterrorism strategies.
Drawing on interviews with 20 leading experts in terrorism studies from diverse backgrounds and regions, this book provides invaluable insights and ensures a well-rounded examination of the subject. It will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of security studies, political science, international relations, and terrorism studies in particular, as well as policy-makers interested in exploring the complexities of countering terrorism in our ever-changing world.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了恐怖主義研究領域中長期以來在國際社會中一直缺乏共識的重要問題。它討論了為什麼有這麼多對恐怖主義的定義，以及在國際層面上缺乏一個標準的恐怖主義定義，揭示了實現全球共識的難以捉摸的界限。
這本書提出了兩個引人入勝的假設，為反恐努力開辟了新的視角。首先，需要新的法律框架來適應恐怖主義不斷演變的本質，包括國家支持的恐怖主義。其次，通過研究恐怖主義的歷史根源，這本書揭示了可能重塑未來反恐戰略的模式。
本書借鑒了來自不同背景和地區的20位領先恐怖主義研究專家的訪談，提供了寶貴的見解，確保對該主題進行全面的考察。它將吸引特別是安全研究、政治學、國際關係和恐怖主義研究的學生、學者和研究人員，以及對探索在我們不斷變化的世界中對抗恐怖主義的複雜性感興趣的政策制定者。
