‘This is a very timely volume that examines the state of terrorism studies as a discipline. It examines a range of pressing issues, including the development of a more cross-sector, interdisciplinary approach to the subject; the ethical issues involved and the need for more gender-based and non-Western perspectives. Highly recommended.’
– Kumar Ramakrishna, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

‘This is not just a marvellously comprehensive overview of a maturing research field but also hints at a brave new vision for what terrorism research can, and perhaps should, be. A timely, valuable collection that deserves widespread attention.’
– John Horgan, Georgia State University, US
