The terrorist attacks of September 11th and more recent atrocities in Russia, Indonesia and Kenya have demonstrated that terrorism now poses the most dangerous threat to stability, democracy and prosperity around the world.
This major new book examines how the world has reacted to, and been affected by, the attacks on September 11th, ensuing war in Afghanistan and President George W. Bush's declaration of a 'war on terror' as the 'first war of the 21st century'. The contributions by distinguished specialists in the field examine the domestic implications of terrorism and counter terrorist initiatives across the world.
Few books can boast the quality and range of the contributions to this volume, which locate the war on terror in a truly global and intellectual context.
'Pointed and concise accounts of the impact of 9/11 on the policies of the major states and regions of the world are supplemented by thoughtful reflections on the effects of these events on international organizations and on the global economy. Besides serving as a valuable and highly accessible overview for the general reader, Global Responses to Terrorism - with its well-documented contributions by an impressive array of specialists - also addresses the needs of international relations professionals.' - Robert H. Donaldson, University of Tulsa, USA
'An excellent, comprehensive survey of the importance of 9/11 for world politics which will interest specialists and general readers alike.' - Andrew Linklater, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK
‘An excellent volume of short but precise analyses written by acknowledged experts in their particular field … reflects an impressively wide variety of perspectives on the responses to the attacks of al Qaeda of September 11, 2001 in the United States … a worthwhile collection that contains a good overview of the far-reaching consequences that terrorist attacks are able to trigger … a coherent and interesting book.’ - INCORE website (Ethnic Conflict Research Digest)
