Globalisation And the New Terror The Asia Pacific Dimension

This rigorously analytical yet readable book examines trends in new terror - understood here to be the capacity of sub-state actors to secure religious or politically motivated objectives by violent means. The contributors argue that whilst the use of violence to achieve political ends is searcely original, what distinguishes new terror is its potential for lethality. This, combined with its evolving capacity to draw upon the resources of globalisation, particularly the revolution in communications which has advanced global markets, has also rendered them, and the more developed core states in the international trading order, increasingly vulnerable to asymmetric threats.Jones, David Martin is the author of 'Globalisation And the New Terror The Asia Pacific Dimension', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845427771 and ISBN 1845427777.
