While no single work can provide all of the answers to what is and is not terrorism; or provide a unified vision of what constitutes terrorism, this volume aims to shed critical light on the difficulties of determining its limits and nature. The authors address several major themes within terrorism: its definition, whether it is a distinct species of political violence or an extension of other forms of activity such as low-intensity warfare, differing manifestations of terrorism, the question of whether a new form of the phenomena has emerged since the end of the Cold War, to whom the use of the technique is most likely to appeal and the character of persons who implement terror.
