Características

As a manifestation of asymmetrical violence coming from the bottom up, terrorism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries is qualitatively different from terrorism in earlier times. Against a backdrop of globalization, the spread of new forms of mass communication, and the threatof uncontrolled proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the problemof extremism and terrorism acquires a totally new meaning, becoming animportant factor not only in the foreign and domestic policy of most countries,but also in the everyday life of billions of people all over the world.Without a clear understanding of the roots of terrorism, it is extremely difficult (if not completely impossible) to comprehend this phenomenon, whichhas become a major threat to world security in recent decades. And withoutsuch an understanding, we cannot effectively combat the threat.In this study, Emanuilov and Yashlavsky investigate the religious aspects ofmodern terrorism from its origins to the present day.
