Summary

Phases of Terrorism in the Age of Globalization explores the problem of terrorism from above and below - that is from the views of state and non-state actors. Using case studies from different corners of the world, Jalata examines the essence and characteristics of terrorism in relation to the contestation over economic resources and power, the resistance to domination and repression, and religious and ideological fundamentalism. Focusing on state and non-state terrorism, particularly al Qaeda, the book demonstrates how the frequency, intensity, danger and volume of terrorism have increased along with the development of global capitalism, advancement in technology and the production of powerful weapons.
