TERRORISM VERSUS DEMOCRACY – PAUL WILKINSON

This book examines the terrorist networks that operate globally and analyzes 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 and 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). The book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of terrorism studies, political science, and international relations, as well as for policymakers and journalists.
