Abstract
This book sets out to explain how international terrorism is shaped, how it evolves over time and what we are to expect in the future. It offers a fresh contribution by drawing upon research and methods outside the traditional terrorism research genre, and by taking both a theoretical and a practical predictive approach still unusual in the field of terrorism studies. While predicting terrorist activities is a highly speculative business, Brynjar Lia has identified a number of long-term causes and driving forces. He combines these research findings with predictive literature on various aspects of globalisation, and underpins his analysis by numerous case studies. The result is a set of propositions about future patterns of terrorism, which are not simply best guesses, but backed up by the latest research in the field. Lia finds that the current wave of deadly terrorist attacks is rooted in global structural factors, including the current unipolar and interventionist world order, proliferation of weak transitional states, globalisation of organised crime, privatisation of policing and warfare, migration and ethnic heterogenisation, growing information interconnectedness, and diffusion of deadly technologies. These systemic causes will shape the future terrorist landscape, and will sustain a high level of transnational terrorism in the foreseeable future. This book will be of invaluable interest to students, researchers and practitioners in the field of terrorism studies.
