Conclusion.This book addresses critical questions in the field of terrorism studies that have long eluded consensus in the international community. It discusses why there is an abundance of definitions of terrorism and, on the other hand, the absence of a standard definition of terrorism reflected at the international level, shedding light on the elusive boundaries for achieving a global consensus. The book's two compelling hypotheses pave the way for a fresh perspective on counterterrorism efforts. Firstly, the need for new legal frameworks that adapt to the evolving nature of terrorism, encompassing state-sponsored terrorism. Secondly, by examining the historical roots of terrorism, this book uncovers patterns that could reshape future counterterrorism strategies. Drawing on interviews with 20 leading experts in terrorism studies from diverse backgrounds and regions, this book provides invaluable insights and ensures a well-rounded examination of the subject. It will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of security studies, political science, international relations, and terrorism studies in particular, as well as policy-makers interested in exploring the complexities of countering terrorism in our ever-changing world.Contributions to Security and Defence Studies,2948-2291TerrorismPolitical violenceSecurity, InternationalPeacePolitics and warTerrorism and Political ViolenceInternational Security StudiesPeace and Conflict StudiesMilitary and Defence StudiesTerrorism.Political violence.Security, International.Peace.Politics and war.Terrorism and Political Violence.International Security Studies.Peace and Conflict Studies.Military and Defence Studies.327.117363.325Maniszewska Katarzyna1744546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910872187603321Towards a New Definition of Terrorism4174516UNINA04322nam 22007094a 450 991095321990332120251116175600.01-905299-64-81-135-78779-41-135-78780-80-203-22065-X1-280-03179-40-203-29628-110.4324/9780203220658 (CKB)1000000000250449(EBL)171835(OCoLC)475879443(SSID)ssj0000297927(PQKBManifestationID)11251426(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000297927(PQKBWorkID)10350599(PQKB)11459669(MiAaPQ)EBC171835(Au-PeEL)EBL171835(CaPaEBR)ebr10100339(CaONFJC)MIL3179(OCoLC)252876997(EXLCZ)99100000000025044920020604d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGreen China seeking ecological alternatives /Geoffrey Murray and Ian G.
