Summary:

This edited volume provides new dimensions to the debate on global terrorism by opening up interdisciplinary conversations between hitherto unexplored strategic, economic, ethical and legal approaches, which offer important and practically relevant opportunities to rethink how states can respond to terrorist threats. The book uses these sources of insight to examine the nature and meaning of security in a rapidly changing world.
