Edited by the late David Martin Jones, formerly Visiting Professor, Department of War Studies, King’s College London and Honorary Professor, Humanities Research Institute, University of Buckingham, UK, Paul Schulte, Honorary Professor, Institute for Conflict, Cooperation and Security, School of Government and Society, University of Birmingham, UK, Carl Ungerer, Senior Associate, Cognoscenti Group, Sydney and M.L.R. Smith, Academic Principal, Australian War College, Australia<i>Prescient, probing and provocative, this </i>Handbook of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Post 9/11<i> is a timely and welcome addition to the literature. It gathers in one volume the research and assessments of some of the field's best and sharpest scholars to render a reappraisal of the struggle against this continuing threat.'</i><br /> --Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, US, author of <i>Inside Terrorism</i><p><i>'The </i>Handbook of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Post 9/11<i> represents an impressive intellectual balance between presenting a global overview of the subject and providing insightful regional analyses of how different terrorist movements actually operate. It is surely the most comprehensive single volume currently available in the field of terrorism studies and is highly recommended.'</i> --Michael Evans, Australian Defence College</p><p><i>'This is a welcome and important Handbook which offers a fresh perspective on some of the most important debates about national security and counter-terrorism in the twenty-first century. It looks beyond the West and is not afraid to challenge simplistic narratives and conventional wisdom. The Handbook is assembled by distinguished experts in the field but it is pleasing to see the work of so many younger scholars foregrounded across a considerable range of areas.'</i><br /> --John Bew, King's College London, UK</p>
Bringing together expert commentators and academics from Asia, US, Europe and the Middle East, the Handbook of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Post 9/11 assesses regional responses to terrorism and evaluates the emergence of new threats. This timely reflection on the consequences of the global war on terror considers the future of asymmetric conflict in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, and the evolution of cyber warfare.
Providing an analysis of terrorism since 2001, from Al Qaeda to Daesh, and a critical evaluation of counter terrorism and counter insurgency, this Handbook is an essential primer for students, at all levels, researching terrorism, insurgency, global warfare and international relations. It will also benefit defence and security personnel enrolled on postgraduate courses in military academies.
