Description

In Modernity and Terrorism, Zafirovski and Rodeheaver analyse the nature, types and causes of contemporary global terrorism. The book redefines modern terrorism in a novel and more comprehensive manner compared to previous literature. It examines counter-state and state terrorism. The authors emphasise the latter in light of its scale, persistence and intensity, as well as its relative neglect in the literature. In essence, their findings show that anti-liberalism in the form of conservatism as the main source and force of modern terrorism.
