The majority of titles, especially those about CT policies in the post-9/11 period, show that there is a compelling need for a multifaceted and comprehensive investigation of all aspects of CT, in which equal attention is given to state and non-state perspectives and approaches in all regions of the world.ĭespite a growing amount of scholarly and policy attention to cyber threats, little progress seems to have been made in building effective deterrence against them. There has been little concentration on how terrorism has been a truly global phenomenon and how others have responded to this threat. It is for this reason that this edited book has been assembled. Schmid, a leading expert on terrorism studies, has identified, in Perspectives on Terrorism, that the CT policies of states and groups of states have received relatively little attention by experts in all fields. It is predominantly based upon theoretical reflections, which draw on both International Relations and other disciplines, and empirical analyses, which offer up case studies and regional overviews.
Existing literature on terrorism and counterterrorism (CT) has overwhelmingly focused on the strategic and operational policies of major Western states such as the USA and the UK.
