The Impact On Our Lives.
Whether motivated by political beliefs, nationalism or religions fanaticism, the terrorists of today are more sophisticated, more ruthless, and more deadly than ever before. This timely book raises many vital questions. How can we define terrorism? What drives people to join terrorist movements? How do terrorist groups organise and arm themselves? And what measures should be taken against them by governments and the international community?
The social and political issues strand of the '21st Century Debates' series looks at the enormous changes taking place in society at the start of the new millennium. In a world where political tensions are rising, and many traditional social structures are breaking down, this series examines the difficult decisions and awesome responsibilities faced by governments, organisations, communities and individuals concerned with the effects of such rapid change. Where are these new developments taking us? Are they leading to the kind of society in which we want to live?
