- Summary:
- The book examines various manifestations of terrorism in the 1980s, such as state-sponsored terrorism, and fundamentalist, nationalist, and separtist ideological terrorist factions. Included is a description of present efforts at combating terrorism and predictions of the future course of international terrorism. The contributors' overall conclusion is that states will continue to exploit terrorism, and terrorists will continue to create crises, forcing governments and corporations to divert more and more resources toward combatting terrorist activities.
