Have you ever wondered about the rise of global terrorism? Have you ever thought about finding a solution to terrorism? Are you worried about the next 9/11? Have you been concerned about the threat America and its allies are experiencing from Islamic extremists? Is terrorism your concern and do you wish to gain insight into the psychology of terrorists? Do you want to know why terrorism is perpetuating in the world? In short, are you concern about your own security and that of your loves ones and hope that the world becomes a peaceful place for humankind? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then this book will provide the answers to your inquiries on global terror. Diagnosis and Prescription to Combat Global Terrorism attempts to inform you about the undisclosed facts or realities about terrorism that government officials, politicians, and religious leaders are yet to discuss in the public realm. The book discusses terrorism from insights gained in the world's five major religions (Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism) and describes how these religions' culture, beliefs, or doctrines are crucial to enhancing democracy - or infecting the world with chaos, desperation, and uncertainty. This book brings new ideas from four different schools of thought (Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, and Social Work) to help you digest critical information about the rise of global terror. The book also recommends ways to combat this ill societal phenomenon. The author uses an intellectual ideological microscope to magnify the unspoken underlying causes of global terrorism; he provides theoretical explanations on how religions and cultures impact terrorism as well as have the ability to deter the current divide. While the contents of this book are exploratory and stimulating to its general readers, it also can be used in colleges and universities in academic disciplines such as Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Psychology to model the way for a violence-free democratic society.

This major new Handbook synthesises more than two decades of scholarly research, and provides a comprehensive overview of the field of terrorism studies. The content of the Handbook is based on the responses to a questionnaire by nearly 100 experts from more than 20 countries as well as the specific expertise and experience of the volume editor and the various contributors. Together, they guide the reader through the voluminous literature on terrorism, and propose a new consensus definition of terrorism, based on an extensive review of existing conceptualisations. The work also features a large collection of typologies and surveys a wide range of theories of terrorism. Additional chapters survey terrorist databases and provide a guide to available resources on terrorism in libraries and on the Internet. It also includes the most comprehensive World Directory of Extremist, Terrorist and other Organizations associated with Guerrilla Warfare, Political Violence, Protest and Organized- and Cyber-Crime. The Routledge Handbook of Terrorism Research will be an essential work of reference for students and researchers of terrorism and political violence, security studies, criminology, political science and international relations, and of great interest to policymakers and professionals in the field of counter-terrorism.

This book brings together and subjects to critical scrutiny the core controversies connected to the so-called "War on Terror": When is it legitimate and prudent to use force? Is torture ever justified? Do we need to suspend human rights in order to fight terrorism? Is multi-culturalism the answer to communal conflict? Is Israel's treatment of the Palestinians illegal and immoral, an accelerator of terrorism, or legitimately defensive and largely irrelevant to the terrorism problem? Are terrorists responding to concrete U.S. policies or do they simply hate and wish to destroy Western societies? Liberal intellectuals and political leaders have been slow to articulate a grand strategy informed by liberal values for confronting these issues surrounding global terrorism. The book outlines the framework of a liberal strategy, and exposes the costs of the neo-conservative alternative that has driven US foreign policy since 9/11.
