Terrorism is certainly not a new phenomenon. In spite of an international mobilisation following the attacks of 11 September, 2001, recent targets of violent attacks have added urgency to the critical examination of this subject.

In this book, multidisciplinary analyses make an important contribution to our understanding of the principal characteristics of terrorism. The notion of risk, the role of the media, the connections between terrorism and the drugs trade, the importance of international cooperation and the preservation of civil liberties are closely examined. The result is a book that provides a unique insight into the phenomenon of terrorism.
