• Sommario/riassunto: On one hand immigration is encouraged and on the other the rights and obligations of newcomers in a country are not always clear. Creating a theoretical link between concepts and terms allied to immigration and terrorism is based on worldwide evidence. This book helps in understanding the etiology of terrorism and what to do to prevent it.
