Global Terrorism: Multilateral Responses to an Extraordinary Threat
Eric Rosand
From the Introduction: Although terrorism as a phenomenon is not new, with the upsurge in terrorist attacks around the world claimed by or ascribed to Islamist terrorist groups, there is now recognition, even among the most economically and militarily powerful of countries, that this particular threat cannot be fought by a single state or even a group of states.
About This Project
IPI’s work on terrorism supports the broad UN community — including Member States, experts and practitioners — by bringing international research on terrorism and counterterrorism to bear on UN policy debates. In addition, IPI uses its convening role to create informal fora that support dialogue and policy development to strengthen multilateral security capacity to address transnational terrorism and violent political militancy.
