Global Alert debunks this myth by anatomizing the rationale behind modern terrorism. It draws a distinct picture of its root and instrumental causes and plots the different stages of a terrorist attack, from indoctrination and recruitment to planning, preparation, and launch. Global Alert also exposes the measured exploitation of democratic institutions by terrorists to further their goals. Despite its strong capabilities and extensive resources, the modern liberal-democratic state is nevertheless subject to the rules of war, which partially restrict the state's ability to operate and maneuver. Boaz Ganor shows how terrorist organizations exploit these values to paralyze or neutralize the states they oppose. In outlining this new "hybrid" terrorist organization and its activity in both the military-terrorist arena and the political-welfare arena, Ganor advances an international doctrine for governing military operations between state and nonstate actors as part of a new type of armed conflict termed "multidimensional warfare." 410 0$aColumbia studies in terrorism and irregular warfare. 606 $aTerrorism$zIslamic countries 606 $aTerrorism$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 615 0$aTerrorism 615 0$aTerrorism$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 676 $a363.325 686 $aMD 8920$2rvk 700 $aGanor$b Boaz$01088110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827588503321 996 $aGlobal alert$93956563 997 $aUNINA
