Summary:

Revised and updated since its last 2008 edition, this collection of 18 articles, edited by Coolsaet (Ghent U., Belgium) provides an overview of recent trends in jihadi terrorism in Europe and the United States. Collectively, the papers provide a global assessment of the current threat, present comparative analysis of jihadi terrorism in relation to other forms of non-state terrorism, and explore processes and programs of radicalization and de-radicalization.
