Communication theories and terrorism - how can a connection be made here? Terrorism is a dominant topic: It sometimes determines public political discussion as well as private conversations. Communication studies can penetrate the phenomenon of terrorism and provide important pieces of the puzzle to grasp it in its entirety. Moreover, the development of media literacy among some terrorist groups underscores the need to look at the social problem of terrorism from a communication studies perspective.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
