The Politics of Terror

The Politics of Terror

by Erica Chenoweth (Author), Pauline L. Moore (Author)

Synopsis

Bringing together both classic and contemporary research, The Politics of Terror provides a systematic introduction to the theory, politics, and practice of terrorism. In addition to offering a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the subject, Chenoweth and Moore challenge readers to think critically. The book is oriented around a set of empirical, theoretical, and methodological puzzles that arise in the study of terrorism. By encouraging students to engage with these puzzles, and equipping them with the resources to do so thoughtfully, the authors present a nuanced introduction to a complex and crucially important field.

Media Reviews
This is an excellent textbook that far surpasses what is currently available. The Politics of Terror does a masterful job detailing the theoretical approaches to the study of terrorism. It uses rich data and interesting examples to illustrate complex themes. Students of all levels will benefit from this book. * Michael Jensen, University of Maryland *
The distinct advantage of this book is that I don't feel the need to supplement with other books to thoroughly cover the topic. It covers all the major material and is balanced in its approach. * Andrea Malji, Transylvania University *
The chapters are all well written and the structure is helpful. The book also does a good job of involving current and relevant scholarship and then helping students to understand the contributions of that scholarship. * Tyler White, University of Nebraska-Lincoln *
