Putting terrorism into historical perspective and analyzing it as a form of political violence, this text presents the most essential concepts, the latest data, and numerous case studies to promote effective analysis of terrorist acts. Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century objectively breaks down the who-what- why-how of terrorism, giving readers a way both to understand patterns of behavior and to more critically evaluate forthcoming patterns. New to the Ninth Edition: Uses a key contemporary challenge of terrorism - the emerging radicalization via social media platforms as a thread to link its chapters, especially in terms of domestic terror threats and the rise of the far right in the US and abroad. Discusses the role of religion as the "fourth wave" of modern terrorism, linking and radicalizing groups and individuals in all parts of the globe, recruiting individuals for terrorist acts in their own states and drawing them into international confrontations. Examines the emergence of terror training grounds, based in failed or failing states, and of mobile training camps with no state home; the growth of piracy; the escalation of suicide bombings; and the use of IEDs in transnational attacks in the context of transnational terrorism today. Compares the profile of domestic extremists over time up to the Capitol rioters of January 2021. Includes new and updated case studies on a wide variety of terror phenomena including the Covid-19 pandemic, piracy in Somalia and Asia, cyberterrorism, Black Swan events, Dark Web Tracking, and comparative case studies from Obama to Trump to Biden"-- 0aTerrorism. 0aTerrorismxForecasting. 02localaPrint books.08iOnline version:aCombs, Cindy C.tTerrorism in the twenty-first centurybNinth Edition.dNew York : Routledge, 2022z9781003211594w(DLC) 2021055675
