Terrorism: Ideology, Law and Policy Edited by Afshin Ellian, Gelijn Molier and David Suurland Leiden University International Relations Studies Series, 13 (International Studies Library, 30) Unlike many other books on the topic of terrorism or counter-terrorism, this book aims to offer an interdisciplinary approach and integrated analysis by a wide variety of international scholars on the rapidly evolving subject matter of terrorism and counter-terrorism policies. It is structured on three concepts that should form the fundaments of any counter-terrorism approach namely: ideology, law and policy. In the first part of the book authors offer their analyses of the origins and ideological foundations of Islamic terrorism. The second part of the book makes an inventory and efficiency analysis of the body of legal counterterrorism instruments. The third part of the book looks at the practical nature of terrorism and the prevention and repression policies that have been developed to combat it. Since none of these research areas in itself will suffice to answer questions pertaining to Islamic terrorism and counter-terrorism strategies, this book attempts to look beyond the boundaries of each separate research field and thus aims to show the interconnectedness of their different paradigms.
